John 10:1-10

A door provides protection.  It welcomes people and keeps danger out.  Without a door, we are exposed and defenseless.  Jesus tells us that He alone is the door and only through Him do we have eternal life.  Jesus isn’t just showing us the way, He is the Way.  He lets us into heaven and protecting us against sin, death and the devil.  We are safe because all has been defeated on the cross and through Christ’s resurrection.  The devil has no power over us anymore.  Jesus says to us “Come!” inviting us into the gates of heaven, giving us His love and forgiveness.
