“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
John 10:9 (KJV)
Commentary on John 10:9
Christ repeats 'I am the door' for emphasis, adding explanation: entrance through Him brings salvation (spiritual security), free access ('go in and out'), and provision ('find pasture'). The three-fold blessing mirrors the Aaronic blessing (Numbers 6:24-26). Going 'in and out' suggests freedom and security—sheep don't fear entering/leaving when the True Shepherd guards them. This contrasts with the false shepherds (Pharisees) who bring bondage, not freedom.
