The Sacrificial Lamb Of God

 No one but Jesus used the words "very truly I tell you," these were words that carried authority, a greater authority than any earthly jurisdiction, a sovereign command that was directly from God. Jesus wanted to get across the eternal truth that He was the door of the sheepfold; the only Good Shepherd; the one Way to God; the revealed Truth of God and everlasting Life that only comes from God. He is God in the flesh. But His disciples did not understand His words.
 The plain truth of God – of Who He is - The Sacrificial Lamb Of God that takes away the sin of the world, has been spelled out in Scripture in easy-to-understand words. The literal truth of fallen mankind and what he is and what he needs is similarly written in the holy Scriptures, all of which point to mankind's need of a Savior, and all of which point to Jesus as that Savior.
 We are the sheep and Jesus is the door of the sheep-pen, which leads to life eternal. Jesus is the Good Shepherd of the sheep Who leads and guides, protects and feeds the sheep that belong to Him. As such, we are to listen to His Word and trust what He says, all of which is written in the Word of God, the holy Scriptures.
 Let us pay heed to all that Jesus says. Let us trust all that the Word of God tells us.
John 10:7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

Our United Prayer:
Thank You, Father, that Jesus is our Good Shepherd and through Him, we can be restored into fellowship with You. Give us the understanding, we pray, so that we may know You better. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
