Psalm 24

Psa 24:7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.

Accepatance is a comforting thing. We seem to do anything just to gain acceptance. The more acceptance and access we have the better we feel. This is why people try to get back stage passes. This is why there are people at stadiums, preventing you from sitting in the lower sections unless you have the apprpriate ticket. Even more so when you enter goverment buildings and places of importance. We always want the door open to us.

Mr. O'Keefe was teaching on Sunday and he pointed out something that happened when Jesus died. The curtain in the temple was torn in two. It signified access to the Holy of Holies. Above we read, "Lift up your heads, O you gates...and the King of glory shall come in."

The only way to Lord was through His redemptive blood. Gates were lifted when that happened. There was now a birdge between God and man and His name is Jesus. Heaven's doors were made wide open for me and you. There is one more door described in revelation which only can be opened by you. Jesus says He stands at the door and knocks. Truly one day the Lord will ride through heavenly gates, come down to earth and walk right through the gates of Jerusalem. It will be a show of His power, that truly by His blood He has complete access to Heaven and earth. Nonetheless, He today He knocks on hearts. The promise is read up above: Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
