The Door
I Am • Week 3
When Jesus described Himself as the door to the sheep pen, He didn't just mean that He is the way in. He was trying to communicated a deeper and more powerful statement of peace and safety. Jesus' statement of "I Am the Door" is an invitation to us to enter in and rest. Wopsle shares this deeper meaning and encourages us to accept that invitation in week 3 of I Am.

John 10:1-5 ESV
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
John 10:6 ESV
This figure of speech Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
John 10:7,8 ESV
So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. =
John 10:9,10 ESV
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
John 10:10 ESV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
