Portraits of A Savior Week 3

John 10:7–10 (ESV)

So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by 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.

Jesus is the only way to salvation and true security.

Four Views of God 

1. A wall - God is inaccessible. 

2. A stairway - I must work to get to God. 

3. A garbage dump - I am too messed up. 

4. A door.

✔️We are welcome. 

Luke 11:10 (NIV)

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

✔️ We are saved. 

John 10:9 (ESV)

If anyone enters by me, he will be saved…

We have been saved from bondage into freedom. 

✔️ We are protected. 

John 10:9-10 (ESV)

…and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Revelation 3:20 (NIV)

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
