The Door ~
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families
terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my
bowels were moved for him.
And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I
looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of
man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall,
behold a door.
And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from
the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were
beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of
the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over
them above.
Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of
this gate before the Lord in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley
of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the
days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the
land of Egypt.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same
is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is
the shepherd of the sheep.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me.
