約翰福音 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:7

Then said Jesus unto them again
By way of explanation of the above parable, since they did not understand it:

verily, verily, I say unto you;
this is certainly truth, and what may be depended on as such, whether it will be believed or not:

I am the door of the sheep;
and of none but them; not of goats, dogs, or swine; none but sheep enter at this door; and all the sheep do sooner or later: Christ is the door to them, by which they enter into a visible church state, and are let into a participation of the ordinances of it, as baptism and the Lord's supper: no man comes into a church, at the right door, or in a right way, or has a right to partake of Gospel ordinances, but he that truly believes in Christ, and makes a profession of faith in him: Christ is the door of the under shepherds of the sheep; none are fit to be pastors of churches, but who first enter into a Gospel church at this door, and are qualified, and called, and sent forth by Christ: he is the door of the sheep, by which they are let into the presence of his Father, and have communion with him, and partake of all the blessings of grace; it is through him that sanctifying, justifying, pardoning, and adopting grace, are conveyed unto them, and they brought into the enjoyment of them; it is through him they have all their peace, joy, and comfort, and deliverance from, and victory over all their enemies; through him they have heirship, and a right unto eternal life, and that itself; for he is the door into heaven itself, through which they shall have an abundant entrance into it: and he is the only door into each of these; there is no coming to God the Father but by, and through him; nor to a participation of the blessings of the covenant, nor rightly into a Gospel church state, and to the ordinances of it, nor into heaven at last, but in at this door: and this is a door of faith and hope, and an open one, for all sensible sinners, for all the sheep of Christ, to enter in at; though it is a strait gate, the number being few that enter in at it; and those that do, though they are certainly, yet but scarcely saved; for it is through many tribulations and afflictions that they enter.

約翰福音 10:7 In-Context

5 羊 不 跟 著 生 人 ； 因 為 不 認 得 他 的 聲 音 。 必 要 逃 跑 。

6 耶 穌 將 這 比 喻 告 訴 他 們 ， 但 他 們 不 明 白 所 說 的 是 甚 麼 意 思 。

7 所 以 ， 耶 穌 又 對 他 們 說 ： 我 實 實 在 在 的 告 訴 你 們 ， 我 就 是 羊 的 門 。

8 凡 在 我 以 先 來 的 都 是 賊 ， 是 強 盜 ； 羊 卻 不 聽 他 們 。

9 我 就 是 門 ； 凡 從 我 進 來 的 ， 必 然 得 救 ， 並 且 出 入 得 草 吃 。
