I <strong>AM</strong> : M. M. Ninan<br />

This is connected with the seventh year, the year of jubilee when<br />

every person who sold himself to slavery because of his debt will<br />

go back to his own. However, if during the period, he has endeared<br />

himself to the family and becomes part of the family, he can<br />

become a member of the family. This ceremony involved piercing<br />

the ears with an awl to the doorpost. He becomes a slave in the<br />

family forever.<br />

The imagery of Jesus as the door is that you are outside the family<br />

of God where there is pain, suffering, and death that sway all the<br />

time. David once said<br />

Psa 84:10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I<br />

would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the<br />

tents of the wicked.<br />

It is better to be a servant of the Lord all our lives than is a free<br />

person into this decaying world. But then the door is the way in to<br />

become part of this Kingdom of God.<br />

5.7 EARTHIANS AS QUARANTINED<br />

Earthians are quarantined because of deadly sin. There is another<br />

world outside of this world -- the Kingdom of Heaven where there<br />

is no sin, where there is no<br />

decay, pain, suffering or death.<br />

There the laws of Physics are<br />

different. There everything<br />

grows from order to greater<br />

order, glory to glory. We<br />

cannot get into the city of<br />

heaven because we are bound<br />

to this material dimension. We have been trying to get out of this<br />

The only door beyond this<br />

decaying physical world into the<br />

undecaying physical world is<br />

Jesus
