Second Coming John 10:1: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” A door is a good thing. It makes it very convenient to enter into a place. However, this passage has a greater meaning than entering into an earthly sheepfold by another way other than the door. What Jesus was saying is that there is only one way into Heaven and if you try any other way you are equivalent to a thief and a robber. You are not going to get there by any other way anyhow, so why try? The way to get there is simply by coming in at the door. Look at verse 2: “But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.” The shepherd of an earthly sheepfold enters in by way of the door. He does not try to climb over the wall. Jesus is the Shepherd of His sheep and not only that; He is also the door. Look at verse 7: “Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.” When Jesus says: “Verily, verily” He is making a very strong point. He wants you to listen up and pay attention! He is the door! If you want to get into Heaven, Jesus Christ is the only doorway for you! You do not have to hope, or wonder, or guess how to get there. You can absolutely know the way. He even repeats it again in verse 9: “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” You can come straight in at the door and have what your soul has been longing for. He is the creator of your soul and you can find rest and peace in His pasture. Now you might not think of yourself as a sheep but the Bible tells us in Isaiah 53:6: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way...” Which is equivalent to Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”. Instead of getting on the right path most have followed the wrong path and that is where the sheep go astray. The most popular Psalm of all is the 23rd Psalm and it begins with: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Jesus is the Shepherd and the door. Sheep need a shepherd; people need the Shepherd and believe it or

not, we are people! Look at verse 11: “ I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” Did the Good Shepherd give His life for the sheep? He sure did! He gave it on Calvary’s cross and shed His precious blood to cover our sins. It was not that He could not do otherwise. It was because He voluntarily bore our own sins in His own body. II Corinthians 5:21: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” I Peter 2:24: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” So, the Shepherd died for the sheep! Well, you might ask: what can you do with a dead Shepherd? Nothing! He could not help us at all. But our Shepherd did not stay dead! They put Him in the grave but 3 days later He arose again. Ladies and gentlemen, He was seen by all the disciples and not them only. I Corinthians 15:6 states: “After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once...” And in verse 8 the Apostle Paul said: “And last of all he was seen of me also...” Therefore, there were plenty of eye witnesses of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ! Jesus told His disciples in Luke 24:39: “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.” Furthermore, He is not only alive with a physical resurrected body, but He is coming back physically and bodily again! I know that people have been saying that for years but the full 2000 years have not yet expired. You have to count from His death, not from His birth. Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake, He is coming back! Are you ready?
