"One Door, and Only One, and Yet its Sides Are Two"


"One door, and only one
And yet its side are two.
Inside and outside,
On which side are you?
One door and only one
And yet its sides are two.
I'm on the inside,
On which side are you?

"One Lord, and only one
And yet the ways are two,
Right way and wrong way
On which way are you?

"One Lord, and only one
And yet its ways are two.
I'm on the right way,
On which way are you?

"One Book, and only one
Which tells of places two.
Good place or bad place
On which place choose you?

"One Book and only one
Which tells of places true
I choose the good place.
And which place choose you?

Here is a good anecdote from Spurgeon's Sermon Notes:

"A lady, who heard Whitefield, in Scotland, preach upon the words, 'And the door was shut,' being placed near two dashing young men, but at a considerable distance from the pulpit, witnessed their mirth; and overheard one say, in a low tone, to the other: 'Well, what if the door be shut? Another will open.' Thus they turned off the solemnity of the text.

"Mr. Whitefield had not proceeded far when he said, 'It is possible there may be some careless, trifling person here today, who may ward off the force of this impressive subject by lightly thinking, 'What matter if the door be shut? Another will open.'

"The two young men were paralyzed, and looked at each other. Mr. Whitefield proceeded: 'Yes, another will open, and let me tell you what door that will be: it will be the door to the bottemless pit! - The door of hell! - the door which conceals from the eyes of angels the horrors of damnation!'"
