#20 - DOOR

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the DOOR but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber.  But he who enters by the DOOR is the shepherd of the sheep.  To him the gatekeeper opens.  The sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.  When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.  A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him for they do not know the voice of strangers.  This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what He was saying to them.  So Jesus again 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 listen to them.  I am the DOOR.  If anyone enters by 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 10:1-10 

Full Definition of DOOR

1 :  a usually swinging or sliding barrier by which an entry is closed and opened; 

2 :  a means of access  

Jesus, You are the DOOR!!  You provide the way - the access to salvation.  You are the entry that is open for me to know You.  You provide the way - it has nothing to do with what I have done or what I will do in the future.  I can't earn access, I can't be good enough, I can't pay You back.  You are the DOOR.  If anyone enters through You, he will be saved.  You have provided forgiveness through Your death on the cross.  Your forgiveness covers all my sin - past sin, present sin and the sin I will commit in the future.  It is finished - it is done.  Jesus paid it all.  Now I know Your voice - You go before me and lead the way!   I worship You,  Jesus,  for being the DOOR!!

(Are you trying to earn your way through the DOOR?  Jesus is the DOOR - Thank Him for providing access to you!  Thank Him, praise HiM and worship Jesus, the DOOR!)
