I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John 10:9
These are the wonderful words of the Lord Jesus Christ. The cross of Christ has cast a beautiful shadow over the entire world since that violent but victorious day on Calvary when Jesus uttered these three words, “It is finished.” The price was paid and the way was made for mankind to be able to have forgiveness of sin and to have the relationship with God restored. The shadow of the cross has its origin in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. From the moment of that great day until this very second, the cross has loomed over mankind like an oasis in the desert offering living water for the dead souls who will come.
Jesus says, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved”. I want you to think about the lives of many. They get up and go to work. One day leads to another and another. Life seemingly moves on and as they go about their day and their life and they walk right past the door. Think of the many who have been led to the door by hearing a message preached at a church, on the radio, the internet, or maybe by a neighbor or friend. Perhaps a family member has shared God’s Word with them, and as God has drawn them and the Holy Spirit has convicted them of their sin, they stand right at the door and turn away.
Let’s pray for those who we know have turned from and walked past Jesus Christ. Let’s continue to plant the seed of God’s Word. The way is still the same and the truth has not changed. Jesus Christ still waits for the lost to come by Him.
