“I am the Door!” Jesus – John 10:7

It happens every day! Multiple times a day even! And it has since I moved into this house. It is so common and ordinary that I don’t even think about it anymore. It just is what it is! I pull my truck into the driveway (I don’t have room for it in the garage), get out, walk up to my front door, and then fumble for the right key to get in. Now how silly is THAT??

I have a lot of keys, so finding the right one, even though I’ve placed my house key beside the bigger truck key, CAN be a tangled mess. When my hands are full, it’s even worse! At night, if I’ve forgotten to turn on the porch light ahead of time, the right key is almost impossible to find. Dropping the keys, in the dark, with my hands full, is a ‘far too often’ occurrence that I NEVER think about fixing!

Katie has a remote in her car for the garage door. She hits a button and drives right on in. When I got The Goldwing, I bought an extra remote for ease of entry. Last week I grabbed it for some reason and threw it in my truck. Days later, it was dark, raining and I had stuff to take into the house. When the truck light came on after opening it’s door, I saw the remote and pushed the button. Guess what happened!!!!

When the door opened and the garage door light came on, I had a eureka moment! WOW!!!!!!! But it was short lived! Because afterward, I felt like a FOOL and started talking to myself!! “That was WAYYYY TOO EASY!!! You moron! Why didn’t you think about putting a remote in your truck a LONG time ago????” Which brings up ANOTHER long term problem of mine. My moron self NEVER answers rhetorical questions!

I can’t say I was stupid, because I really really not AWARE! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over…expecting a different result. Sometimes even the smartest of us just do things that way! Living a life of routine, common and predictable, can lock my brain. It takes something bigger than wishing to un-skip the record! (anyone under 45 will have NO idea what that means!)

“I AM THE DOOR!” Jesus said that! And as I have preached several times lately, there are only 3 ways to approach that. He is either a liar, a nut-bag…or He’s telling the Truth! By His pointing to Himself as ‘The Door,’ MY only TWO options are to 1. give Him a try. Or…2. Don’t! Which leads to ANOTHER Eureka moment. If my path to the door is dark…He has a solution for THAT TOO!. He said, “I am THE LIGHT of THE WORLD!”

That Jesus….He’s like….SO full of answers! Did ya notice???
