I Am the Light of the World

We are so accustomed to electric lights of all kinds that it is hard to imagine what total darkness is like. But the hearts and minds of many are shrouded in spiritual darkness. Just as light dispels darkness, the presence of Jesus in our lives lights our way and provides the protection and guidance we need for a victorious daily walk. When we follow Him, we will walk in the light, not in the darkness, and His light will give us life.

John 8:12

I Am the Good Shepherd

I Am the Good Shepherd, John 10:11

I Am the Door

The shepherd theme is one of the best-known and best-loved word pictures in the Bible. Here, in John 10, Jesus also refers to Himself as the “door” of the sheepfold, alluding to the practice of shepherds to lie across the opening of the enclosure and thereby protect the sheep within from anything that might harm them. As our “door,” Jesus offers to provide the security we need to flourish and be content and makes the claim that is a crucial truth of Christianity – that He is the Way, the only Way, to God.

John 10:9
