One Shepherd, One Door
Jesus said to him,“I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6
Jesus the Lord said that He is the only Door, that He is the Door to the Father’s house. He is the only door to Eternal Life. There is no other door and no other path that can lead us to Eternal Life. Everyone else will take us in a completely different direction. Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd.
But it seems that the most popular idea in today’s age is that no matter which door we go through, in the end it will take us to God. The Word of God says it’s wrong to think so. Jesus says this clearly in the Gospel of John: “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.” (John 10: 9). Also Jesus says, “No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14: 6)
You see, this is a very crucial issue. Have you entered through this Door? As you walk through this Door, you accept this sacrifice of Jesus. You accept that He needs you to be saved. John 10:9 says, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
You may be trying to think of Eternal Life, you may be looking for a door today that will take you there, so you know – you can only get there through a Door called Jesus. If you enter through that door, you meet Jesus there as the Good Shepherd.
These are just a few of the many scriptures that talk about the importance of faith, the importance of following, the importance of acknowledging the authority of the Good Shepherd.
The disciple John wrote, “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.” (John 20:31)
The only obstacle to you being sure of your Salvation is that you do not believe in Christ. Therefore, may God help us that each of us can say with confidence, “He is this door, He is salvation, and through this Door, I have gone under the direction of this Good Shepherd”. He leads me. He’s ahead of me. I follow Him.
