Door
Doors in Scripture are mostly about timing and opportunity. Paul writes, “a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries,” holding both truths in one sentence. In Jesus’ story of the ten bridesmaids, those who were ready went in, “and the door was shut.” Another parable has people knocking too late. Revelation turns the picture around, calling Christ the one “that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth.” A door can mean welcome, or a chance that will not stay. To start, read Luke 13:24-27 and Revelation 3:7-8.
