All are welcome
and encouraged to come in.
Some rush in
to see what is going on.
Some that
walked in leave thinking I will come back later or think this doesn’t interest
me.
Some walk by
with curiosity but think there is plenty of time.
Others have
no interest at all and keep walking.
Please come
in, please come in all are welcome the gate keepers encourage.
There is
plenty of room.
Several
others come in while others linger at the door, curious but unwilling to risk
the unknown.
All of a
sudden the gate is closed.
Inside the
gates there is laughter.
There are
fun new games.
There is
beautiful music.
What are
they doing?
Things are
going on inside the gate that have never been seen or imagined by the
villagers.
It looks
like so much fun.
Many would
like to come in now but the gate is closed.
They are turned
away.
They missed their
opportunity.
All they can
do is look in the gate and watch the unimaginable things that are going
on.
Oh how they
wish they had gone in when the gate was open.
They could
be experiencing the fun, the joy, the new adventures, the blessings if only they
had accepted the invitation.
This was the scene in village G. that we visited. Many were
left to watch from the fence once the gate closed. Cephas related this scene to accepting Jesus to all that
watched from the fence. The gate
to enter heaven by accepting Jesus is open but will close without warning just
like the gate to the compound closed. What a powerful analogy Cephas portrayed
to the villagers. It has left a
lasting impression on me. I pray
all reading this will accept Jesus to be able to enter the gate before God
closes it.
