Sermon: Jesus is the Open Door

: Jesus is the door to eternal life. And to pass through this door, you do not need to be the best, or the smartest, or the most devoted, or meet a certain criteria. You need only be in Him. In Jesus, the One who takes you from earth to heaven. If we try to approach heaven apart from Him, on our own, on the basis of our own merits or achievements, then it is the words we heard in the Holy Gospel that will be spoken to us: “I do not know where you come from.” But the door is open for those who come in Jesus, in His cross, in His death and resurrection. For these God knows. And those who come in these, God knows. For as we have lived in these, through confession and repentance, through forgiveness and the life our Savior gives, He has known us all along. And we who are probably considered last by the criteria of the world, will be first in the kingdom of God.
