Juan 10:9

9 Yo soy la puerta; los que entren a través de mí serán salvos.
Entrarán y saldrán libremente y encontrarán buenos pastos.

Juan 10:9 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:9

I am the door
Of the sheep, as before, see ( John 10:7 ) . The Ethiopic version reads, "I am the true door of the sheep"; which is repeated for further confirmation, and for the sake of introducing what follows:

by me if any man enter in;
into the sheepfold, the church,

he shall be saved;
not that being in a church, and having submitted to ordinances, will save any, but entering into these, at the right door, or through faith in Christ, such will be saved, according to ( Mark 16:16 ) ; such shall be saved from sin, the dominion of it, the guilt and condemning power of it, and at last from the being of it; and from the law, its curse and condemnation, and from wrath to come, and from every evil, and every enemy; such are, and for ever shall be, in a safe state, being in Christ, and in his hands, out of which none can pluck them:

and shall go in and out;
in allusion to the sheep going in and out of the fold: not that those who come in at the right door, shall go out of the church, or from among the saints again; but this phrase rather denotes the exercises of faith in going unto Christ, and acting upon him, and in coming forth in the outward confession of him, and the performance of good works; or in going unto him, and dealing with his blood, righteousness, and sacrifice, and coming out of themselves, and all dependence on their own righteousness; or it may regard the conversation of the saints in the church, their attendance on ordinances, their safety there, their free and open communion one with another, and with Christ, in whose name and strength they do all they do, coming in and out at this door:

and find pasture;
green and good pasture; pasture for their souls; the words of faith, and good doctrine; the wholesome words of Christ Jesus; the ordinances, the breasts of consolation; yea, Christ himself, whose flesh is meat indeed, and whose blood is drink indeed: the Persic version renders it, "and shall a pastor", or "shepherd"; see ( Jeremiah 3:15 ) .

Juan 10:9 In-Context

7 entonces les dio la explicación:

8 Todos los que vinieron antes que yo
eran ladrones y bandidos, pero las verdaderas ovejas no los escucharon.

9 Yo soy la puerta; los que entren a través de mí serán salvos.
Entrarán y saldrán libremente y encontrarán buenos pastos.

10 El propósito del ladrón es robar y matar y destruir; mi propósito es darles una vida plena y abundante.

11 »Yo soy el buen pastor. El buen pastor da su vida en sacrificio por las ovejas.
