I Am the Door
John 10:1 - 10

Jesus is the Shepherd of the sheep. In the first century, shepherds kept sheep in a community fold, and called them out by name. In the same way, Jesus is the true shepherd of Israel, who came to call his own out of false religion. The false shepherds were the leaders of Israel, who used the people for their own benefit, rather than protecting them.
Jesus is the Saviour of the sheep, both for Jews and Gentiles - and all He calls by name will be saved. He knows His sheep individually, and will accomplish His purposes in them. He came to give His sheep abundant life.
