The Door

7 So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. (John 10:7-8 ESV)

The Messiah, who was the incarnate Son of God and the only way to God Father: He speaks to us. Surely, we should hang on His every word and automatically trust Him. Yet He condescends to stress the importance and veracity of His words to us, saying, "Truly, truly". Let us turn to Him, rejecting all competing voices: all the thieves and robbers, which contradict Him.
