maybe it means that he doesnt need as though he needs to "stay in the house" - for the first time he feels supported/loved (whatever way you want to say it) cos he knows now that jesus/god is there for him no matter what. so he doesnt need to hide away locked in a house, he can face whatever it is he has to face (a common sign in people who have a strong faith)....did that make any sense?
