Who are you? Are you a Thief?

John 10:1, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

What was Jesus saying here when He made such a bold statement and what door was He talking about? By the way, where have I entered? Did I enter through this door that He’s refering to or am I classified as a thief and a robber?

Jesus was referring to entrance into the Church How did you become a part of the Church, were you baptized (submerged) in water, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins were washed away, or are you still in sin because you were baptized in titles and therefore, you are still living in sin? If the latter describes the course of action you have taken, sorry my friend, He’s talking about you.

John 10: 9, “ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”

You see, you HAVE TO enter the kingdom through Him. In Acts 2: 37-38, the question was asked and the answer given about how a person can be saved. “…Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Yes, in His name and not titles. After all, what use are titles when we are admonished by God’s word in this way, “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”- Col. 3:17.

If you are walking in a crowd at the carnival or airport with your dad and all of a sudden, there’s a surge in the crowd, and you get separated from him, shouting for dad may not help because many dads are in the crowd and your dad may have turned back to look for you, when you went forward looking for him. When you get to a security post to seek assistance, when you tell them you can’t find your dad they’re going to need his full name and if you don’t know your dad’s name, they won’t be able to page him to come and get you. If they knew his name, they could simply page him to come get you at the security post; problem solved. It’s a somewhat similar situation. When you’re in trouble, are you going to shout “father, son and holy ghost help me” or are you going to call on the name of Jesus until your deliverance comes? Use the name, best results!

Furthermore, the Word also says, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”_ Acts 4:12. Therefore, as Jesus Christ had said, you are a thief and a robber if you “entered” by some other means and we all know that thieves and robbers cannot enter Heaven, so it would now be wise to turn back and enter through “The Door”, Jesus Christ before the the door closes and time changes to eternity.

The Lord bless you continually my friends.
