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

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. Blessings, Darlene

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
