THE DOOR OF HEAVEN

From an article by: Karleen McCarn

"...I can only imagine how the poor, hungry, tired, and downtrodden immigrants must have felt as they stood at the guardrails of the incoming ships and marveled at the height and majesty of the (Statue of Liberty). How welcome they must have felt to have read the words on the statue:

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

The cross where Jesus died for our sins once stood on a hill outside Jerusalem. That cross has become 'the lamp beside the golden door' into the kingdom of God. For anyone to enter this door to the Kingdom, he must trust Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour and Lord, believing Christ died on the cross for his sins, and that He rose from the dead to give him a new life."

Jesus said: "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture (Jn. 10:9)."
