Door

        The door provided sinners to approach and enter into fellowship with God.
John 10:9 Jesus said "I am the door; if any man enter in, he shall be saved.
     
        John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me.
       
         Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

         The gate was made of fine white linen with patterns of purple, scarlet, and blue worked into it.  There were four colors in the pattern of the Tabernacle.  They picture the nature and character of the person of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.  The pictures of color tell us a story of what Jesus was like.  Purple is the sign of royalty.  The color of the King.  Scarlet is the color of blood.  Jesus blood would be shed for us on the cross.  White the color of perfection that we all fall short of.  Also, a picture of the righteousness of Jesus that He gives us at salvation.  Blue is a picture of Heaven. These colors are shown in the four gospels.  Matthew pictures Jesus as King of the Jews shows the color purple.  Mark shows scarlet, Jesus as the suffering Servant.  Luke shows Him as the perfect human representing the white linen.  John shows us Immanuel-God with us.  Babe born in a manager and tabernacled among us.  The creator of all the earth pictured in the blue.  He was sent from Heaven to walk among men.  The four gospels to the four corners of the earth.
