Jesus Is the Door - Bro. T. Stephen

My dear Brothers  and sisters   in Christ,   I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.  The blessed word that God has given you for today is from the book of, John 10:9, ” I am the Door.  If anyone enters by  Me, he will be saved.    And will go in and out and find pasture”.

The above context actually refers to the sheep and the shepherd.  There are many false shepherds in this world and they considered Jesus as an imposter. A  sheep needs man’s care and in return they lend service to man. In order to protect the sheep from the wolves and other wild animals, they had their sheep folds within the backyard of their houses for the safety of the flocks. 

The sheepfold lies much exposed to thieves and robbers. The shepherd safeguards the sheep from the cruel hands of such thieves and robbers.  The sheep hears the voice of his shepherd and enters the door of the sheepfold and are therefore safe. They go in and out under the watchful eyes of the shepherd and are led to green pastures where they find food and rest.

My dear Brothers  and Sisters we are living in a dangerous world.  Any where we turn, we are surrounded with horrible disease. Cancer, heart attack ,  Diabetes, Arthritis, and so on. There is a question that rises in our minds. Who will save me from this situation? There is no remedy for certain disease and even before we could diagnose the disease the person dies of illness.  Such is the state of our current life.

That is why God says, I am the door.  I alone am the healer.  I am the  one who sustains  you. Anyone  who enters the door will be saved,  will be healed. Take Jesus along with you where ever you go.  He will never fail you nor forsake you. God wants to protect us from the adversary he devil, that walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.  The sheepfold represents the church. When one enters the church he will be saved. One must realize that Jesus is the door of the kingdom of God.  Anyone who enters through the door will be rescued. He will be saved from sin, curse and condemnation, from wrath to come and would be kept safe in the hands of God.Then no one can pluck them out of his hand. May the Lord help you to enter the door and be safe. 

God bless you. 

Prayer:

Our loving heavenly, Father, we thank You for this blessed day. We thank you for protecting us throughout the year.  Thank you for preserving our lives, from   sickness, from  disease,  and from dangers.  May You help us to enter the door  and be safe. Teach us to  humble ourselves and be blessed.   In Jesus Name we pray.  

Amen
