Door Of Hope
Contributed by Sermon Central on Mar 24, 2015 (message contributor)
There is a small metal door painted white in the side of a tiny mission church in Johannesburg South Africa. This door is changing lives. On it are painted the words “door of hope.” That is exactly what it is for various babies within the city. On average some forty to fifty babies were being abandoned on the streets to die of exposure or starvation a month. That was before the mission installed their door to a baby bin allowing mothers to anonymously deposit their unwanted babies and have someone love them and care for them. Now the mission is saving over 100 babies a year. What an incredible door.
I know of another incredible door that takes in the unwanted, saves lives and brings hope. That door can be found in John 10:7-10. From a sermon by Joe Bertone, He Is The Door of Mystery (“I Am The Door”) 8/27/2012
