Scripture: John 10: 7, 9, 14
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
Scripture Commentary: Jesus opens the door for all.
Jesus says, “I am the door…” Jesus opened the door for all of us when he placed himself on the cross and died for our sins. This gave us entry into God, the Father’s kingdom.
We will go through many doors in this life but the most important door is the one we will enter when our life on earth ends.
Can you hear Jesus’s voice or are you listening to another voice?
When Jesus says my flock hears my voice, it means that those who have repented and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior know his voice. Those who have not accepted him do not know what his voice sounds like.
Verse 16 tells us there are other sheep not part of the original flock who also are his. Jesus came to the Jews first so they could go into the world and spread the Gospel. Then Jesus opened the door to let in the Gentiles, who also are the sheep of his flock.
Jesus has his door wide open so the entire universe has the opportunity to come in.
Jesus committed his life and his love to us. What have you committed to him?
