基督是通往神的唯一門徑
約翰福音十章1至10節
1我實實在在地告訴你們：人進羊圈，不從門進去，倒從別處爬進去，那人就是賊，就是強盜。
2從門進去的，才是羊的牧人。
3看門的就給他開門，羊也聽他的聲音。他按著名叫自己的羊，把羊領出來。
4既放出自己的羊來，就在前頭走，羊也跟著他，因為認得他的聲音。
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：“我實實在在地告訴你們：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。
10盜賊來，無非要偷竊、殺害、毀壞；我來了，是要叫羊（註：或作“人”）得生命，並且得的更豐盛。
信息分享
基督在世時，曾經作出一些直接的自我宣稱，好像：「我是道路。」「我是世界的光。」「我是生命的糧。」每一個都值得我們花時間仔細了解和思想。今天的經文記述基督的另一個自我宣稱：「我就是門。」基督說這句話，是在祂治好一個瞎子之後，法賽人卻把瞎子趕走。基督說祂就是門，意思就是：「他們把你趕出聖殿，並不要緊。我就是門，你可以通過我這道門，進入一個更重要的地方。」
當門打開，人便可以進入裡面；當門關上，人便不得進入。在門裡面的人，當然感到安全穩妥；任何打擾他們的人，都會被摒諸門外。基督清楚指出，那是一道「窄門」——「從我」意味著那是唯一進入的門徑。但祂加以「凡」字，就清楚表明，這道門是對任何人敞開的，隨時隨地可以進來。
基督就是這門，也就是說，我們要與祂建立個人化的真實關係，祂活著，並滿足我們每天的需要；我們進入這門裡面，便能享有真正的自由和滿足。留意「出入得草吃」，除了讓羊進入羊圈裡面，也要把羊領出來牧放。同樣地，我們進入門裡面與神相交，也靠者基督餵養的靈糧，出來服侍祂。
多麼奇妙福音！「必然得救」這句話更給我們莫大的肯定和確據！你還需要比這更肯定的保證嗎？這句話是基督親口說的，我們當然可以放心信靠。
CHRIST THE ONLY WAY TO GOD
John 10: 1-10
1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Message
While Christ was on earth He made a number of straightforward statements such as “I am the way”, “I am the light of the world”, and “I am the bread of life”. Each one is worth our time to study and think it through. Here in our reading Christ gave us this clear picture, “I am the gate (or the door).” This verse seems to follow on the excommunication of the blind man Christ had just healed. It was almost as if he said, “Don’t be concerned if they have shut you out of the temple. I am the gate and you can come into a much more important place through me.”
A gate gives access when open and bars access when closed. It provides security for those within and shuts out others who would disturb the ones inside. Christ showed that it is a very narrow gate – “through me” means that it is the only way to enter. But He added the word “whoever” which clearly shows that the gate is open to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
The gate is Christ. In other words this means we may enter a personal living relationship with Him. We share that relationship with someone who is alive and who will meet our needs day by day. There is also a wonderful liberty and satisfaction in our position inside the gate. Did you notice the words “He will come in and go out and find pasture”? We go in for fellowship and out for service, while feeding on Christ day by day for spiritual food.
What a wonderful Gospel! What certainty and assurance there are in these words “will be saved”! Do you need any more assurance than that? Christ said it. We can believe it.
