David Jeremiah Bible Verse for today:
I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. – John 10:9

INSIGHT | David Jeremiah Daily Devotional Monday 15th July 2024 | Guardian of the Sheep

Recommended Reading: Ezekiel 34:11-16

In the ancient Near East, kings were often referred to as shepherds. In the Old Testament, God was referred to as the “Shepherd of Israel” (Psalm 80:1), the One who would do what Israel’s failed earthly shepherds would not do: care for the people of Israel (Ezekiel 34:11-16). Ezekiel 34 contains one of the harshest rebukes in the Old Testament: God’s rebuke of the leaders of Israel who were not caring for His people.

Against this background, Jesus not only declared Himself to be the Good Shepherd (John 10:11, 14), but He also said He was the Door of the sheepfold. That meant anyone coming in or out of the sheepfold had to go through Him. He was not the guardian of the door; He was the Door itself! Those who enter His sheepfold “will be saved” and can go “in and out [to] find pasture” (John 10:9). This is reminiscent of His words in John 14:6: “No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Thank God today that Jesus is your way to salvation and the One who protects you as part of His flock.

Salvation comes through a cross and a crucified Christ. – Andrew Murray

Read-Thru-the-Bible: Isaiah 1 – 3
