PORTALS

 



I've always loved archways...

Walking through cloisters for instance, 
or whilst wandering through ruined abbeys with arches that have survived wars and weather,
or crossing the threshold of an ancient doorway,
I get the same feeling when passing through a cascading purple wisteria arbour in an old garden,
or little gateways with a sweet sweep of an arch overhead.

Somehow they convey a blessing that I love to experience.

Some people speak of their experience of portals, spiritual doorways that lead you from one dimension to another, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad...

For me there is but one Portal and I found it in the One who says 'I am the Door, if anyone enters by me he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.'  

When Jesus died on the cross 2000 years ago, he opened the most cosmic and life-changing portal that there is.  He opened the way for man to have a real relationship with God, instead of trying to meet Him from a distance, or by means of all sorts of strange religious practices!  The incredible power and significance of the cross spans all history, all time, and is for all people. It was and is the Door of all Doors...

And through this awesome Portal God says 'Come in! Sit down and sup with me. Let's have a good chat about things...'
