John 10:7ff
I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers,
but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved,
and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

At the time Jesus made this profound statement,
the shepherd actually laid his body across the entrance of the shelter for the sheep
to keep the sheep in and to keep out the wolves.
The shepherd was the door.

The ancient Greek phrase ( I Am ) is ego emi,
which is the same term used in the Greek translation of
the Old Testament ( the septuagint )
to describe the Voice from the burning bush.
The incredible I Am statements made by Jesus
are among the many and various proofs that
Jesus is God.
