Today’s Thought “Stairway to Heaven” G. Ward

John 10:7

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

 

Sheep are defense-less animals, prone to sup in poisonous fields and therefore – needs a Shepherd. Sheep also lack discernment of the big-bad wolf’s potential devouring efforts and whereas our Lord remains the Great, Good Shepherd, the believer’s sentiment insists in/through HIM, we shall not want; for we’re the sheep of HIS pasture (Ps.100:3). Our Lord Jesus would pervade a predominately, unwelcomed series of “I AM” statements indicative of HIM fulfilling the messianic role of the Great Shepherd, making the claim of being God in the flesh (*John 1:1-3,14) and whereas HE’D insist that HE alone is the Only Gateway to eternal life, we, as HIS sheep follow.

It appears an undeniable message (1 Cor.2:14), until one studies religion – whereby mankind is/has been persistently argumentative concerning their god, along with being indignant towards some artful depictions drawn, that calculates the Savior, born Middle-Eastern, really looks Anglo. Remember, you’re the sheep of HIS pasture – called, no matter what others say and regardless of what complexion HE was; while singing, “I know my Redeemer Lives!”
