Jesus, Our Beloved Door, Nailed for Us

"2If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. 5And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 6Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever." (Exodus 21: 2-6)

"I love my master" says the servant in this law. No servant every places his family ahead of his master, except for the one who came to serve all of us, Jesus (Mark 10: 45).

Jesus has made us all accepted in Himself, our Beloved (Ephesians 1: 6)

In Hebrews, the word for "Beloved" is "David" or "Dowd"

The word is spelled thus:

Dalet--ד
Vav-- וֹ
Dalet--ד
 

In Hebrew, "Dalet" represents a door, and "Vav" represents a nail.

Jesus is our Door:

"Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep." (John 10: 7)


Jesus is our Servant who was nailed to the Cross for all our sins, so that He could stay with us forever.

Jesus, our Door, was nailed to the door, that He could be with us forever. Otherwise, Jesus could have refused to take the Cup of Sorrows for us, not take our sins, and he could have returned to the right hand of the Father free, but He would not be able to take us with Him.

Jesus, our Beloved Servant and Door, was nailed to the Door, the Cross, for us!
