I AM the door

This week Jesus challenges the religious teachers by claiming that he is the door. This claim is tied to an Old Testament reference where the Lord chastises the teacher of Israel. In the Old Testament reference the teachers who were supposed to look over and care for the flock are actually doing the opposite. Instead of feeding the flock they are using, abusing, and neglecting the flock.
Jesus comes onto the scene and claims to be the long awaited door. Any teacher who is not pointing toward some other way is a false teacher. A true shepherd will point toward Jesus who is the true shepherd.
