In May of 2023, Karen and I had the opportunity to travel to the area of Williamstown, Kentucky, to visit the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter (both of which are operated by Ken Hamm’s ministry, “Answers in Genesis”).  At the end of our tour of the ark, we came to a walled mural centered upon the theme of “the door.”  This mural depicts the ways in which the Bible portrays Jesus Christ as the door of salvation from sin to both Jew and Gentile alike, and focuses upon five specific passages of Scripture:      Exodus 12:13— refers to the blood of a lamb on the doorpost of the Hebrew homes just prior to their exodus from the land of Egypt.     Hebrews 10:4— both chapters 9 and 10 allude to Jesus as our Great High Priest, who entered into the Holy of Holies “once for all, having obtained eternal redemption” (cf. 9:12).     John 10:7 – 10— here Jesus gives one of His “I Am” statements, declaring, “I am the door.  If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved…” (v.9).     Matthew 7:13 – 14— Jesus’ teaching at this point in His “Sermon on the Mount” indicates something of the intentionality and demands of the way of salvation.     Revelation 3:20— in the closing segment of His letter to the church in Laodicea, Jesus declared, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” This past Sunday (September 22nd), we began a series of messages focused
