I Am the Door

Doors and gates are things that we likely don’t give much thought to until they are in need of repair—and while the truth is that they are usually constructed to keep people or animals out, they can also certainly be opened to let them in. In this week’s message from John 10, Pastor J.D. explains perhaps the most overlooked of Jesus’ “I Am” statements: “I am the door.” Though most people recognize this as Jesus’ claim to be the only way to salvation—and it is—it is also a statement that is far richer and deeper than we may realize. Because while Jesus is indeed the only door to salvation, he is also the door that leads to a flourishing life here on earth.
