“I Am the Door”

mysaviorspeaks.com/2015/04/

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved

 and will go in and out and find pasture.

John 10:9 (ESV)

                Jesus Christ explains to his listeners that there is only one way to reach God and to enter heaven; that way is through Him and Him alone.

            In our world, we see buildings with doors and windows. Doors are present in order to allow desired people in and, when necessary, to keep unwanted people out.  Looters and robbers climb through windows in order to gain entry to buildings and homes where they do their questionable deeds.

           

            Jesus tells that if anyone enters the fold via any way other than through Him, that person is a robber and a thief.

            A song, actually its chorus, from years past comes to mind. The words are simple and yet meaningful. “So high, can’t go over it; so wide, can’t go around it so low can’t go under it; you have to go through the door.  I found the lyrics to the song. (Lyrics by the Bishops)

   Well don't you know it’s so high (so high) you can't get over it?

So low (so low) you can't get under it

So wide (so wide) you can't get around it

You must come in at the door

So high (so high) you can't get over it

So low (so low) you can't get under it.

So wide (so wide) you can't get around it

You must come in at the door

Well, you can't get there by walking

And you can't get there by land

Now if you want to get to Heaven at all

You must go hand in hand.

And you can't get there by walking

And you can't get there by air.

Now if you want to see Heaven at all

You must go there by prayer.

So high (so high) you can't get over it

So low (so low) you can't get under it.

So wide (so wide) you can't get around it

You must come in at the door

Well, Rebecca she said she saw Him

Come riding up in the air

Well it was so high you couldn't get over

The Bible does declare.

Brother Jonah in the bottom of the deep blue sea.

In the belly of the whale he stopped.

Well he was so low he couldn't get under

He had to come to the top

So high (so high) you can't get over it

So low (so low) you can't get under it.

So wide (so wide) you can't get around it

You must come in at the door

Now old Pharaoh he drove those children

Across the wide sea and he found

That it was so wide he couldn't get around

So he went right through and drowned

Now I told you folks how hard it was

I made it plain to see

So if you want to get o Heaven at all

Come on and follow me

So high (so high) you can't get over it

So low (so low) you can't get under it.

So wide (so wide) you can't get around it

You must come in at the door

So high (so high) you can't get over it

So low (so low) you can't get under it.

So wide (so wide) you can't get around it

You must come in at the door
