(NASB) John 10:9-10 “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 ‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

It is through Jesus that anyone can enter heaven.  It is through Jesus that anyone can go into heaven and out from the “old life” to find food, water and rest.  Jesus gives all of this to anyone who enters through Jesus.

What does a thief do?  A thief steals, kills and destroys.
What does Jesus do?  Jesus came to give you life, abundant life.
What can you and I do?  We can enter that Door and be given eternal life.
What is the condition?  We must enter through Jesus, and doesn’t that mean we need to believe Jesus and what He said?

Jesus does not steal anyone’s life, nor kills nor destroys anyone who comes to Him.  Jesus is not a thief, He is the Savior Who came to save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).

Did the enemies of Jesus understand this as they arrested Him, illegally tried Him and sentenced Him to death on a cross?  They previously had the opportunity to believe and they had rejected His words for the past three years.

Irrefutable evidence that Jesus is the only way (the Door) anyone must enter to be saved was in Jesus’ death and resurrection.  His resurrection is proof of His words holding true.

What is eternal life?  It is life after we die and then to live in the very presence of Almighty God!  To live in that eternal day…the day which is forever and ever.  And the only (yes, the only) access to that eternal day is through Jesus, the Door.
