The Hanging for the Door, or the Door of the Tent

Ver. 36. And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. This hanging for the door of the tent is precisely similar to the vail, with this exception, that there are no cherubim on it.
It presents to us Christ, the incarnate Son of God. The blue intimating his heavenly perfectness—the scarlet his earthly dignity and glory—the fine twined linen his pure humanity—and the needlework his exquisitely beautiful character, in which every grace and virtue were combined and blended.
The vail represented him as the way into the holiest—the hangings for the door as the way into the assembly.
It is Jesus, through whom alone, by faith in his person and work, in the confession of his name, and in subjection to his Lordship, there is admission into the assembly of God—the assembly which is the witness for Jesus in the earth, and the dwelling-place of God through the Spirit.
Christ is the door into the assembly of saints. How important is this truth It is not a ceremony, a creed, a set of opinions, or an agreement in a certain course, that is the door of entrance; it is Christ, and Christ alone—the Christ of the Scriptures and the Christ of God: “He that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth arid no man openeth.”
