You're Safe And Secure!
"I am the door
of the sheep."
John 10: 7
Warren Wiersbe explained John 10:1-6 like this:
“The Middle Eastern sheepfold was very simple:
a stone wall about ten feet high surrounded it,
and an opening served as the door.
The shepherds in the village drove their sheep
in the fold at nightfall and left a porter to stand
guard. In the morning each
shepherd called his
own sheep, which recognized their shepherd’s
voice and came out of the fold.
The porter (or one of the shepherds) would
sleep at the opening of the fold and actually
become ‘the
door.’”
Jesus said He was the Door. When we're in Him,
we have the stone walls of His protective care all
around us, and He Himself stands guard to make
sure we’re safe and secure from all harm.
Take a deep breath today and remember
that you don’t need to be afraid. Jesus,
the Door, is your protective Shepherd.
"Every day may be a day of blessing,
every hour an hour of victory, if but
lived in the thought that Jehovah in
his might is your shepherd."
J. Wilber Chapman
