The Door (3 of 7)
Series: The Right Now Jesus - I Am Statements
Steve Wagers
John 10:7,9
''I AM for Our Spiritual ACCESS''
Notable ''doors'' in the Bible
Noah's Ark - God shut the door
Door of the Passover Lamb - Blood applied to the door post
Post-Resurrection Appearance - Doors were double bolted - Jesus appeared
Door of the Church - Jesus stands knocking
John interweaves metaphors to describe WHO Jesus IS/WHAT Jesus DOES
He GIVES Bread because He IS Bread
He GRANTS Light because He IS Light
He GUARANTEES Access because He IS Door
He is not 'A' Door
He is not 'Another' Door.
He is not 'Some' Door.
He is 'THE' Door.
John 10 - Festival of Dedication - Rededication of Temple 165 B. C - Hanukkah
Each family lit 8-branched oil candle/menorah - when light of truth returned to Temple
Bread of Life - I AM for our APPETITE
Light of World - I AM for our AWARENESS
Door - I AM for our ACCESS
1) A SEPARATING Door!
A) INVOLVES a DIVISION
(Cp. John 7;43; 9:16; 10:19)
Some were INSIDE/Some were OUTSIDE - Division over Jesus
B) INVOKES a DECISION
(9) ''...if any man enter in...''
He MAKES no man come through the door. Everyone makes the decision based on who they believe Jesus is. If He is the ONLY DOOR to Heaven, then you decide to come TO Him and THROUGH Him as your only access to the Father.
Door separates/boundary. When you enter a door, you are leaving behind one realm and stepping into another realm.
(1-6) JEWISH Fold
(7-10) GENTILE Fold
Each come through the SAME Door
As you entered this building tonight, there was only one means whereby you could come in - you had to walk through the doors. Had you not walked through the door, you would be outside.
To stand before the Lord Jesus Christ - the DOOR and make NO decision is to make the WRONG decision, because by not coming through the DOOR, you are on the outside.
Nobody is HALF-IN/HALF-OUT. You're either ALL-IN or ALL-OUT!
2) A SAVING Door!
