I AM The Door I - The I AM’s of Jesus

I AM The Door I - The I AM’s of Jesus

Jesus says in John’s Gospel that He is the door, and you shall go in and out and find pasture.  The question I want us to reflect on is if we walk into the door who is Christ, why would I ever come out of that door?  We should surely stay there, correct?  

I used to think this meant we go into Christ, maybe into very deep places and then come out and distribute it to the earth or to the world.  I used to think this!  However, as I was before the Lord, He began to speak in my heart origin.  So, I began to search out these words in John 10.  When you dig into this set of scripture you will find that the word used for you shall go in and out has in its meaning to issue or come forth out.  Now this is not all of its meaning, but it is in here.  With that said, I believe what the Lord was showing me is that we go into the door by Christ and come out in His Life.

You could say we are baptized into His death.  If we stopped right there we would just be dead.  However, we are baptized into His death, and we come forth in life in Him.  Our going forth, or new birth, is in Christ Jesus.  We are baptized into Him, His death, dead to the old man, and we come forth (issue), or come out in His Life.  Now we do issue out of Him to distribute or show Him.  But we never leave the Door.  We never leave our being in Christ.    

This picture is seen in Noah.  Noah entered the door of the ark.  I believe it spoke of the baptism of death.  Peter actually says it does.  When Noah came out the Door, He came out in a New Creation.  All was made new.  This was a type and shadow to what we have in Christ.  “As in the days of Noah, so it is in the days of the coming of the Son of Man.”  We enter into His death, and come forth in Him in His Life.  We issue from the Door of Christ into this New Creation in Christ in which we walk.
