I Am The Door

 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture - John 10:9.

               Jesus who is our Shepherd is the door for us to enter and to find pasture. Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep" - John 10:6. Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it - Matthew 7:13,14.

               The only access we have to God is through Christ, and Him alone. He is the door of salvation. In John 14:6, he said, “No one comes to the father except through the son.” Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved - Acts 4:12. If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved - Romans 10:9.

                  Like how the door offers security, Jesus who is the door protects us from all harm. Nothing shall by any means hurt you - Luke 10:19. He is the only place of rest and protection. He promises to save us and protect us when we enter through the door. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly - John 10:10.                                                    

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the door. We thank You for giving us access to the Father and protecting us from all harm. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
