Jesus Is The Door
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?

Genesis to Jesus Class

From Genesis to Jesus is a seven-lesson study about the major theme of the Bible.

We have pared down this study to what we think is absolutely essential for you to get a clear picture of what the Bible (and Christianity) is all about.
