The Door
"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out
and find pasture." -John 10:9
How does God describe Himself to His creation? In John 10, Jesus tapped into something
familiar to each of His listeners—shepherding. Likely, the bleats of nearby sheep echoed behind
Him as He spoke. Anyone sneaking into a sheepfold by any means than the door was not there
legitimately. The only legitimate access to the sheep was through the door.
Jesus is that Door and He alone offers the true path to salvation.
Good Shepherd
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." -
John 10:11
7 – I AM spoken by JESUS
Jesus is the Door and so much more. He is the Shepherd—the One whose voice the sheep know
and trust. The Shepherd will protect and save the sheep at any cost.
Jesus, as the Good Shepherd, died to save each of us.
The Vine
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears
much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." -John 15:5
As Jesus spoke, the vines hung heavy with ripened fruit throughout the region. His listeners
understood the significance of the vine and the dependency the branches had to the source of
nutrition and water.
Jesus, as the Vine, is our Source of life—life today and everlasting life.
