The Door

To know of a door

is to know of one side.

A door that is closed

will no secrets confide.

To knock on a door

is to want to go in.

A door is a welcoming

quest to begin.

To open a door

is to see something new;

the doorway impending

with fresh hope in view.

To enter a door

is to cross the threshold;

a step through the doorway

where mysteries unfold.

The cost of man’s choice

to relinquish all hope

left man without God

and unable to cope.

The Door came to offer

the Way to God’s heart,

which only the Father

could truly impart.

The Door frame consists

of a manger and hay,

a cross with some nails,

and a stone rolled away.

The Truth paves the Way

to a Life that is new;

the Doorway impending

with fresh hope in view.

Come!  Take off your shoes.

And however you’re dressed,

the Door beckons you;

enter into His rest.

“Jesus says, 

‘I am the Door; 

if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved
… I came that they may have life, 

and have it abundantly.’”
