John 10-11
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
Three times in today's two chapters, Jesus uses the word; "I am". Let's take a look. "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved." John 10:7,9. Jesus is gate, he is the entrance into the sheepfold, you can't come in without going through the gate. Every other way man tries to proffer are simply counterfeits. Next; "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep." John 10:11. Jesus is the shepherd and the bishop of our souls. He is the good shepherd that watches over us. As long as the shepherd is around, the sheep are safe and well fed. Lastly, talking to Martha; "Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?" John 11:25. Jesus is the resurrection. No Jesus, no resurrection. Do you know that ultimately believers don't die, death cannot hold us down becausewe know the one who is the resurrection. When a believer close their eyes in death, they will hear and see Jesus. Halleluyah!
