The Door of Opportunity
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." - John 10:10
Some people treat faith like a security system. They want Jesus to keep them safe, protect them from harm, and help them avoid pain. And yes, He’s a shelter and a refuge. But He’s not just a door that keeps trouble out. He’s a door that invites you into something greater. A life that is full, not just protected.
Jesus didn’t come just to give you comfort. He came to give you purpose. When He called Himself the door, He was not offering an escape route. He was offering access to a new kind of life. It’s not a life without problems. It’s a life with depth, with meaning, with joy that runs deeper than circumstances. It’s a life where you’re not just surviving, you’re actually living.
Too many people stand at the threshold of that door and never step through. They believe in Jesus, but never really follow Him. They hear His voice but never trust Him with their whole life. They want the benefits of the faith without embracing the journey. But life to the full doesn’t happen on the doorstep. It’s waiting on the other side.
What if the reason you feel stuck is because you’ve stopped at safety? What if you’ve confused protection with purpose? Jesus is inviting you into something more than just checking boxes or staying out of trouble. He’s calling you into a daily walk with Him where you grow, stretch, and experience the fullness of who He is.
Don’t just admire the door. Walk through it. Take the step. Say yes. You were made for more than standing still. You were made for life with Him, and He’s already opened the way.
