"I am the door if anyone enters through me will be saved, and come out and find pasture "(Jn 10:9)
Jesus presents himself as one who fulfills the divine promises and expectations of a people whose history is marked throughout by the alliance, never revoked, with his God
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe door looks and explained well with the other image used by Jesus: "I am the way, no one comes to the Father except through me" cf Jn 14 6. So he is really a road and an open door to the Father, to God himself.
"I am the door if anyone enters by me will be saved; go in and out and find pasture. "
What does this mean in our lives this word?
There are many implications that can be deduced from other passages that relate to the Gospel of John with the song, but that we choose among all of the "narrow gate" through which we must strive to enter Cf 7.13 to enter into life.
Why this choice? Because we feel that perhaps it is the closest to the truth that Jesus said about himself and more enlightens us on how to live it.
When he become the door wide open, fully open to the Trinity? Where the door of heaven seems close to him, he became the door of heaven for us all.
abandoned Jesus is the door through which is a perfect exchange between God and humanity: who made himself nothing, joins the children to the Father. And 'the void (the opening of the door) that man is in touch with God and God with man.
So he is at the door and close the door wide open at the same time, and for that we can experience it.
"I am the door if anyone enters through me will be saved, and come out and find pasture."
abandonment Jesus has done for us access to the Father.
his part is done. But to take advantage of so much grace, each one of us must do his small part, which consists in approaching to the door and going beyond. How? When
surprising disappointment, or are injured by trauma or an unexpected misfortune or disease absurd, we recall the suffering of Jesus that all these tests, and a thousand others, has played.
Yes, he is present in all that speaks of suffering. Each of our pain is his name.
Try, therefore, to recognize Jesus in all his troubles, the constrictions of life in all the obscurities, and the personal tragedies of others, the suffering of humanity around us. I am him, because he made them his own. Just tell him, with faith: "You, Lord, my only good" Cf Mk 15:34 and Mt 27.46, just do something concrete to alleviate "his" suffering in the poor and the unfortunate, to go to Beyond the door, and find beyond a joy never experienced, a new fullness of life.
