In this episode, we explore Jesus’ declaration in John 10 that He is the Door—the only way to salvation, protection, and the abundant life. In ancient sheep pens, the shepherd became the door, laying across the entrance to guard the sheep. In the same way, Jesus keeps us in His will, His peace, and His provision, while protecting us from dangers seen and unseen.
We unpack how accepting His righteousness means trusting in His promises and following Him through the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14). True shepherds—pastors and leaders—must reflect Christ, but they do not replace Him. Jesus warns us to discern them by their fruit (Matthew 7:16).
Jesus came to give us abundant life, but the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:9-10). The Good Life isn’t about material things—it’s Messianic and Majestic, a life of contentment, peace, and eternal security in Christ (Philippians 4:12, 19; 1 John 5). Though we may face struggles, Jesus is the Door to green pastures, guarding what we entrust to Him (2 Timothy 1:12).
We close with the ultimate promise: Jesus, the Good Shepherd, will lead us to springs of living water (Revelation 7:17; 21:6), and we will dwell in His presence forever (Psalm 23:1,6).
