Scripture:
“…I am the door of the sheep.
All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but the
sheep did not hear them. I am
the door: by me if any man enter
in, he shall be saved and shall
go in and out and find pasture.
I am the good shepherd: the good
shepherd gives his life for the
sheep. I am the good shepherd,
and know my sheep and am known
of mine.” John 10:7-9,11,14
