JOHN 10:9 I AM THE DOOR IF ANYONE ENTERS BY ME HE WILL BE SAVED

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED THROUGH THE KEY HOLE... ITS THAT TV PROGRAMME WHERE LLOYD GROSSMAN TAKES THE VIEWERS THROUGH A DOOR AND INTO A CELEBRITIES HOUSE WHERE HE METICULOUSLY SHOWS YOU AROUND AND POINTS OUT CERTAIN OBJECTS AROUND THE HOME WHICH ENABLES THE VIEWERS TO UN RAVEL WHOSE HOUSE IT MIGHT BE. AND THEN LLYOD GROSSMANS CONCLUDING REMARKS ARE "WHOSE HOUSE IS THIS? OVER TO YOU DAVID" AND SO BACK IN THE STUDIO DAVID FROST’S GUESTS HAVE TO DECIDE.... WHOSE HOUSE IT BELONGS TOO. FROM WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN AND BEEN TOLD FROM GROSSMAN.

FRIENDS, WHEN JESUS CAME INTO THIS WORLD HE GAVE US A GLIMPSE THROUGH THE KEY HOLE OF ANOTHER HOUSE HIS FATHERS IN HEAVEN. THROUGH HIS LIFE, ( A PLACE OF PERFECTION PURITY A SPOTLESS PLACE) HIS TEACHING ( A PLACE OF INFINITE WISDOM AND TRUTH) , HIS MIRACLES ( PLACE OF POWER AND LOVE A TRANSFORMING PLACE) AND ULTIMATLY HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION (A PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO LONGER ANY SIN, DEATH AND EVIL AND A PLACE THAT WE CAN ENTER INTO)

THROUGH HIS LIFE JESUS CAN TAKE US OVER THE THRESHOLD OF ANOTHER KINGDOM INTO HIS FATHERS HOUSE, ALL OF US WITHOUT EXCEPTION HAVE GLIMPSED SOMETHING OF THE FATHERS HOUSE AS WE LOOK AT JESUS AND BECAUSE OF THE INDELIBLE IMPRINT IN OUR OWN CONSCIENCES.
