When I was a kid there were those who would pay for their movie ticket then once they are in they would let there friends in through the side door. Sometimes it was because they didn't have the money to pay for it and other times because they wanted to see if they could get away with it. In today's portion of thelifebook Jesus talks about people who "climb in by another way". Let's read today's portion of thelifebook... Jesus says those "climb in by another way" are thieves and robbers in other words they are in but do not belong there because they didn't come through Him. Jesus is not only the door but also the Good Shepherd who pays with His life for His sheep.
There are a few things that Jesus makes clear will reveal those who are His. 1. They will hear His voice. 2. They will follow Him. 3. They will be spiritually alive and live eternally. 4. They will be secure in Him. These are not things that we do to become His, they are things that are a reality in our lives because we belong to Him. Let us NOT be like Vanessa who said, "I hope I am one of them.", but rather trust that Jesus ALONE gives life. The point of the passage today is the work that Jesus does, not what we are to do. If you do NOT have this confidence PLEASE let me know either by phone, email or I can meet with you. (708) 735-3507 [email protected] Let us rest in His precious work and promises today. Have a great day Loved One and God bless you real good!
