NAILS,    DOORS,    AND   JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!

(John 10;7-9)
"Then Jesus said to them again, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, I AM THE DOOR OF THE SHEEP."
*(Please read John 10:1 - 30).

"Know that the LORD, He is GOD.
It is HE who has made us, and not we ourselves;
"We are His people and the sheep of His pasture."
(JESUS speaking)"I AM the door. If anyone enters BY ME,
He will be saved, and will go in and out
and find pasture." (John 10:7-9)

(Entering the sheepfold through Jesus is a saving action and provides the sheep with abundant
life and provision.  The phrase "go in and out" (vs. 9) does not mean that one can vacillate about
being in Christ one moment and outside of Him the next.  The picture is one of security and
safety IN CHRIST JESUS as the DOOR to the sheep's daily comings and goings.)

OK, back to the  door-----there are nails that hold the hinge to the door FRAME, and nails that
hold the door to the hinge.
Also, of course there were nails (SPIKES!!!) that held JESUS on the cross.  The nails represent
THE TRUTH OF WHO GOD IS, AND HIS LOVE FOR US!!!

"FOR when  GOD made a promise to ABRAHAM, because HE could swear by no one greater,
HE swore by Himself.  Saying "surely blessing  I will BLESS you, and multiplying I will multiply
you.' "
"And so, after he (Abraham) had patiently endured...he obtained the Promise." (Hebrews 6:20)

"(Heb. 6:17) "Thus GOD, determining to show more  abundantly to (us) the heirs of promise,
the immutability (unchangeableness) of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath.

(vs. 18) "That by two (2) immutable (unchangeable) things, in which it is impossible  for
HOLY GOD to lie, we have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

(vs. 19) "This hope we have as an  ANCHOR of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters
   "THE PRESENCE behind the veil,
Where the FORERUNNER has entered for us, even   JESUS..."

*** An  ANCHOR   is only as secure as that to which it is fastened.****

"...even  JESUS  , having become HIGH PRIEST FOREVER according  to the order of Melchizedek.
(Heb.6:13-20)

"FOR I AM THE LORD, I DO NOT CHANGE."  "JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER." (Malachi 3:6/Hebrews 13:8)      

OH!!! WHAT CAN WE DO?????  EXCEPT BOW DOWN IN AWE AND THANKSGIVING,   AND WORSHIP 'GOD MOST HIGH' "!!!!!!!! (Psalm 47:2)
