The mystery for me is who closed them?
What is the meaning of the saying that, by dying, Jesus 'opened' them?
Could it mean this?
God did not, would not, close the doors on us.
We walked through them and shut them behind us with our disobedient and seemingly independent ways - in fact with our pride.
The doors are not in some far-off heaven but are within us, in our hearts and minds.
Jesus has come knocking on those doors, asking us to open them to him.
He has shown us that, even though having suffered the full range of physical, mental and emotional agony, to the point of, and beyond, death,
he really is alive.
Death is not the end of life but the beginning of a new and ever-lasting adventure of life and love.
