KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 10:7 KJV” Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.”

Once again, our Lord Jesus makes an authoritative statement that gives no room for any other alternative. He said He is the only door of the sheep. To say you are the only door means no other person can be a door leading to salvation. Anyone who makes such statements, should either be a person with a very serious mental condition needing immediate help or attention. If such a one is not a liar or mentally derailed, then He should be the Lord of glory. Everything about Jesus showed that He was indeed Lord.

Now let’s consider certain things about Jesus that should distinguish Him above every other man, and makes Him the one who is the only door to the sheep.

1. If He is the only door or Saviour then His birth, life, and the outcome of His life should have been prophesied many years before His birth. This was clearly fulfilled about Jesus. Isa 9:6 KJV” For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

2. If He is the only Saviour then His birth or entry into this life should be unique and special. Jesus was born by a virgin without any human father. Mat 1:18 KJV” Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.”

3.  If He is to be the only Saviour then His life should be one of mighty outstanding miracles. Acts 2:22 KJV “Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:”

4. Fourthly, if Jesus is the only Saviour, then everything concerning His death should be miraculous. Jesus’ death attracted the attention of the whole city, He was crucified, and when He gave up the ghost, the whole earth became dark, for a moment and the curtain of the temple was torn from top to bottom. Jesus was raised to life and was seen among His disciples for forty days. He ascended to heaven in the presence of over five hundred witnesses, Act 1:9 KJV” And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”

5. If He is the only Saviour, then the impact of His life should be so strong transforming men of different walks of life and at different locations on the earth. Indeed, He’s had the greatest impact in transforming humanity than any other person.

My life is a witness of the many He has transformed.

Jesus is indeed the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father, but through Him.
