A man stands over his mother's casket. The funeral director whispers in his ear, "It's time." The man closes the cover and locks the latch. Closed. In that case that word almost takes your breath away. You know it. "Closed" is a word that will be hung over many a door we badly want open. For that reason, if for no other, this sermon is for us. Our good Shepherd has opened wide some needed doors. Walk through them with me.
