经文: 我就是门。凡从我进来的，必然得救，并且出入得草吃。（约翰福音十：9）
耶稣，伟大的“我是”，是进入真正教会的门和通往上帝的道路。凡愿意藉祂到上帝面前的人，祂就赐给他们四种上好的特权。他必然得救。凡接受耶稣作为他们灵魂的信心之门的人，一个也不会丧失。藉耶稣得以进入安息，表示他也可以藉耶稣进入天国。耶稣是唯一的门，敞开的门，也是安全的门。把进入荣耀之盼望建立于受苦的救赎主身上是有福的。他能进入。他获得进入上帝家的特权，可以分享儿女们的饼，可以分享他们一切的快乐。他能进入与上帝相交的内室，享受祂的爱筵，得着立约之宝藏，并进入应许的库房。在圣灵的大能下，他得以到万王之王跟前，主的奥秘将与他同在。他能出去。这一福份常被人遗忘。我们出去，进入世界，劳苦并受苦，但是在耶稣的名下，在祂的权能中出去，是何等喜乐！我们蒙召为真理作见证，使丧胆者得鼓舞，使疏忽者得警告，去赢取灵魂，去荣耀上帝。主喜悦我们在祂的名下，在祂的大能中，为祂作使者，奋勇前进。他要得草吃。认识耶稣的人，永不缺乏。以耶稣为他一切所有的人，将在耶稣里面得着一切。他的心灵如同得滋润的花园。
Evening, December 17
Scripture: “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)
Jesus, the great I AM, is the entrance into the true church, and the way of access to God himself. He gives to the man who comes to God by him four choice privileges.
1. He shall be saved. The fugitive manslayer passed the gate of the city of refuge, and was safe. Noah entered the door of the ark, and was secure. None can be lost who take Jesus as the door of faith to their souls. Entrance through Jesus into peace is the guarantee of entrance by the same door into heaven. Jesus is the only door, an open door, a wide door, a safe door; and blessed is he who rests all his hope of admission to glory upon the crucified Redeemer.
2. He shall go in. He shall be privileged to go in among the divine family, sharing the children’s bread, and participating in all their honours and enjoyments. He shall go in to the chambers of communion, to the banquets of love, to the treasures of the covenant, to the storehouses of the promises. He shall go in unto the King of kings in the power of the Holy Spirit, and the secret of the Lord shall be with him.
3. He shall go out. This blessing is much forgotten. We go out into the world to labour and suffer, but what a mercy to go in the name and power of Jesus! We are called to bear witness to the truth, to cheer the disconsolate, to warn the careless, to win souls, and to glorify God; and as the angel said to Gideon, “Go in this thy might,” even thus the Lord would have us proceed as his messengers in his name and strength.
4. He shall find pasture. He who knows Jesus shall never want. Going in and out shall be alike helpful to him: in fellowship with God he shall grow, and in watering others he shall be watered. Having made Jesus his all, he shall find all in Jesus. His soul shall be as a watered garden, and as a well of water whose waters fail not.
