The Door

Noah’s ark was real not a fiction
It had a door to escape God’s affliction
Noah delivered a warning message
But the folks mock their own presage

Men grew in sin and matured in transgression
And ignored Noah’s loving confession
The Door stood open a long time
Until time begin to climb

The Lord finally shut the Door
And the rain begin to pour
120 years of grace finally came to a halt
God administered judgment by default

The Door was a glorious type of Christ
He was the Lamb of God who was price
Jesus said “I am the Door of the sheep”
He is the only Door of that Great ship

Jesus is our Door of salvation
Wherein we enter and float as new creation
Behold He stands at your door this day and knock
Let Him in, you’ll find pasture as a partaker of His Holy flock

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep- John 10:7

Darlene Gifford Date: 10/14/2014 10:31:00 AM Hello, Gideon, What a great salvation poem to bring others to Christ! His door is always open. Knock and it will be opened to you, He says. People think they have to clean themselves up before coming to Jesus. Not true, He says come as you are. Then, of course, afterward, He showers us with His word, love and guidance.

Len Gasun Date: 6/23/2013 8:32:00 AM Hi, my dear friend Gideon. Your poem is indeed a perfect story of Noah & an inspirational as one. I like the way you integrated it with the verse John 10.7 which Jesus is our Door of Salvation. I'll fave this one if you don't mind. You did it very well. Thank you so much for sharing & taking time to read mine. By the way, your name Gideon is a biblical name. I remembered when I was working at Gideon Academy. Again, thank you so much and God bless! love and hugs, Leonora Login to Reply Gideon Foli Date: 6/29/2013 10:25:00 AM Hi Leo, thanks for readings my piece as well. You've always been an inspiration.
