John 10:9

The Door to Heaven and Eternal Life

03/08/2024

How would you describe yourself? Would you ever use “door” to describe yourself? I certainly wouldn’t. But Jesus did.

In John 10:9, He said, “I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved…”

Why would Jesus describe Himself as a door?

He wants us to know that there is an “outside” of heaven and an “inside” of heaven. Heaven is a place, and we are “outside” until we go “into” heaven through Jesus.

Make no mistake. Everyone will not live “in” heaven. Only those who enter through Jesus will be in heaven.

Our Heavenly Father sends a personal invitation to everyone to enter eternal life in heaven through Jesus who paid our entrance fee by dying on the cross for our sins. Knocking on the door is not required. Repenting of sin and confessing Jesus as Lord is.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being the DOOR through whom we can enter heaven and live eternally.

“I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”

John 10:9

Have you ever wanted to get into a building and not been able to enter? Have you ever forgotten your key and been locked out of your home or car? If so, you know what it feels like to not be able to enter the place where you want to go. Our earthly frustration does’t compare with what awaits those who long for heaven but can’t enter because they have denied Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior. Today is the day of salvation. If you’ve been dallying and not entered into a relationship with God through His Son, why not repent, praise Jesus as the door, and enter today? 

Lord Jesus, I praise You, the DOOR through which I enter into eternal life!
