The Shepherd will protect and save the sheep at any cost. He is the Shepherd-the One whose voice the sheep know and trust. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." -John 10:11 Jesus is that Door and He alone offers the true path to salvation. The only legitimate access to the sheep was through the door. Anyone sneaking into a sheepfold by any means than the door was not there legitimately. Likely, the bleats of nearby sheep echoed behind Him as He spoke. How does God describe Himself to His creation? In John 10, Jesus tapped into something familiar to each of His listeners-shepherding. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." -John 10:9 Jesus, as the Light of the world, offers a choice between the darkness of sin and the glistening light of a life in His presence. Now, turning to the remaining assembled people, Jesus tells them that He is the Light of the world.

The accusers evaporated and the embarrassed woman was set free with forgiveness and the admonition to turn away from the darkness.

Jesus, as the Bread of Life, offers each of us life everlasting. He offered the kind of Bread that those who ate would never die. Jesus assured them that although their ancestors were given manna, they were dead. After all, they argued, their ancestors had manna. Following this miracle and these words, the people, somehow, still asked for a sign that they could believe in Him. He fled to this wilderness after the miracle of feeding the 5,000 men (and more women and children) with just five loaves and two fish. Jesus spoke these words after a quiet night alone in the wilderness. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." -John 6:35 Jesus repeats the words “I am.” In this repetition we see the fullness of His character.Īnd Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life.
In the Gospel of John, an all-important phrase, spoken by Jesus, is repeated seven times.
