So Jesus said to them ,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
John 10:7-10 NASB
So what does Jesus mean that He is the door? How does that work? It doesn't make sense until you see this picture of a sheepfold below:  Jesus is the one who stands in that opening to love His Sheep. He is the One through whom people can be saved. He is the One who has come for us to have LIFE...and to have that LIFE ABUNDANTLY. Won't you enjoy Jesus being your Door this week?
