John 10:1

Just thought I'd share this with you.

---------------

Exodus 12:22
"Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the door frame. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning."


John 10:7
"Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate [door] for the sheep."


Matthew 26:28
"This [wine] is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."


John 19:28 & 29
"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips."


John 14:16
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."


Matthew 7:7 & 8
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."

He can't get much more thorough than that people. We might want to start acknowledging his presence sometime soon. If we don't, things could get messy around here.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a home. A man comes to the home and wishing to enter, knocks on the door. When the door opens, the man's companion, a theif, sees the riches within and, wanting them for his own, he trys to tear down the wall of the home. Seeing this the homeowner goes out to the man and offers him the keys to the door. Feeling shame, the thief refuses and the homeowner goes back inside, locks the door and is never seen again. So it is with Christ."
