In John 10:7, Jesus makes a profound statement, 'I am the door of the sheep,' which holds deep spiritual significance. This metaphor illustrates that Jesus is the only way to salvation, akin to a shepherd lying across the sheepfold's opening, ensuring no sheep can enter or exit without passing through him. He promises freedom, allowing us to live confidently and securely under His watchful eye, free from the power and guilt of sin. Moreover, Jesus offers an abundant life, not defined by material wealth but by peace, joy, and a deep-seated confidence in God's control. His claim is exclusive, underscoring that He is the only way to eternal life, a truth that remains controversial yet fundamental to the Christian faith. Reflect on your relationship with Jesus, embrace His offer of salvation, freedom, and abundant life, and share this transformative truth with others.
On a scale of 1 to 10, HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW JESUS? Whatever we know about Jesus, we need to take it to the next level. We need to know Him better and deeper than we do at present. We need to embrace the truth about Him and allow that truth to change our lives. And that’s where we are going over the next eight weeks of worship at GCC. We’re going to take what we presently know about Jesus, and take it to the next level. We will do that by diving deep into what Jesus says about Himself each time he says, in the Gospel of John, “I AM…..” Every time Jesus tells us who He is, WHO HE IS has personal implications for WHO HE WANTS US TO BE.
