I Am the Door (John 10:9)
Jesus knows that it can be hard for us to understand Him. God is very different from us. So He uses words as pictures to help us understand. Jesus said "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved." What does Jesus mean?
Opening a door and stepping through a doorway takes us from one room to another, or from one place to another. You stand in the hallway, open the door, walk through the doorway and now you are in your room. Jesus knew that we would understand about doors.
He tells us that He is the door - on one side of the door is being away from God. On the other side of the door is being with God. Jesus is the door that leads to God. When we believe in Him, we go through Him as the door and then we belong to God - we become God's child, and God promises to be with us always.
