John 10:1-10 | Sermon Resources | 1 June 2025
Summary
We continue with the “I Am” series this morning with Jesus’ third statement – “I am the door.” This metaphor clearly portrays Jesus as the way of salvation and life. There is no other. Many of us understand this, but we still struggle with entering and receiving. With many “doors” and “voices” in our lives, the quiet, still promise of Jesus can get lost. But the Lord seeks us, reminds us, draws us, and gives us all we need and want. Will you enter today?
