ON “THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP”

Yes, the Only and but One Jesus is the door of the sheep. In John 10:7 – a third of the seven “I am” of the Gospel, Jesus affirms that with Him Only, human find access to God. Simply put, here, Jesus is concluding that He, and only He, is how God plans individuals to come to Him. His remark in the following section, specifically, is intended to express that the earlier strict heads of individuals were not the “valid” pioneers God planned. This idea additionally echoes, in any event inconspicuously, the single entryway God set on the ark worked by Noah—the unparalleled entryway through which humanity was saved from the fierceness of God (Genesis 6:16). Here it is: “Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.” (John 10:7 KJV)
