John 10:7
I tell you the Truth.
Verily, Verily I say unto you.
Amen, Amen lego hymin.
A continuing explanation of the previous passage.
The third of 7 of the “I am” statements in John.
Jesus is not the shepherd that goes through the gate, He is the gate.
Gate is translated as DOOR.
Jesus shows HIMSELF as being the protector of the the sheep.
He is the way to the fol, with all blessed privileges.
What does it mean for Jesus to be the DOOR/GATE?
What is the purpose of the DOOR/GATE?
As the SHUT DOOR:
He keeps out thieves and robbers
He has wisdom, power and the goodness to keep out the bad
As the OPEN DOOR:
serves as the passage
serves as the port of communication
Through Him we have access ()
He becomes our Lifestyle
Through Him God comes to our church and communicates with us, visits us
The sheep are at last admitted into the heavenly kingdom
Christ is the DOOR/GATE for all shepherds:
thieves and robbers pretend to be shepherds, the sheep do not hear them
Compare to:
Jeremiah 23:1-18
also show that the prophets pronounced judgement upon the shepherds of Israel for their failure to care for the sheep in which they were entrusted.
There could also be Messianic pretenders:
Matt
Mark 11:
Not only did the gate provide safety, it provides happiness and freedom
Christ is the mediator between God and man
We enter into covenant with Him and communion
Only those that can enter the kingdom of God can do so through the gate of Christ!
And in doing so, we must adhere to His grace and government
Why is this a big deal?
Do you remember the instance of the first gate mentioned in the Bible?
Genesis 3:24
The first gate in the Bible can be removed because Jesus!
Precious promises of those that enter the gate:
Those that enter are saved hereafter!
This is their home
They are saved from being distrained
They are saved from being impounded by their sin
They are saved from the roaring lion
They are forever Happy (they come and go and find pasture)
They are free to ingress, egress, and regress!
At home with Christ
They have liberty
They have PASTURE: they get support and nourishment; they have the grass in the field and fodder in the fold
The Shepherd puts Himself in contrast with the sheep
The Jewish leaders are depicted as sheep stealers
The imagery portrays that the sheep are cared for and contented by the Shepherd
Life is preserved and imparted
Not only given eternal life, but have it to the FULL
The thief comes with ill intent- to steal, kill and destroy
deceivers of souls and murderers of
The Gracious Design of the Shepherd
To provide Life
To provide Abundant Life
more abundant than a life that was lost and forfeited by sin
more abundant than that which was promised by the law of Moses
more abundant than we could expect, ask for or think
Christ came to give life and something more- something better; life with an advantage!
