This is our 3rd episode of our Jesus the "I Am" series. Here we hear Jesus tell the religious leaders that He is the door to the sheep. There's a familiar teaching about this that many of us pastors use, and in this message, I look at more historical and important purpose for Jesus using the "I Am the Door," parable.

Takeaways

Jesus is the door and the shepherd who offers refuge and protection to all who enter through him.

God is portrayed as the shepherd throughout the Bible, providing guidance, protection, and care for his people.

Jesus welcomes the wonderer, the lonely, the outcast, and the hurting into his pasture.

The church should be a community that welcomes and restores those who have been hurt or feel forgotten.
