“I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture… I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep... I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (RSV-CE Jn. 10:7,9,11,14) Chapter 10 begins what is known as the “Shepherd Discourse”. John does not transition into this, instead he abruptly begins. In John’s Gospel, this discourse marks a transition. The conspiracy and planned violence against Jesus intensifies. In this post I will address two self-naming statements of Jesus, “I am the Gatekeeper” and “I am the Good Shepherd”. Unlike the previous statements, these two appear in the same chapter and are directly related. In this discourse the meaning is...

The last of the four schools of interpreting John’s Book of Revelation is the spiritualist view. Spiritualistic interpretation is a relatively new theory that tends to over emphasize symbolism. The spiritualist believes that the book focuses on the struggles of all Christians in any age, not specifically the original readers, the past, or future. Revelation is intended to inspire Christians being persecuted. The spiritualist argues that looking for meaning in the past and constructing meaning is a future forward view is guesswork at best. Any attempt at a literal interpretation is absurd. Furthermore, any attempt to find such meaning may conflict with the spiritual meaning for which the spiritualist is searching. This type of reading is inspirational, except it does ignore the fact that John’s book is written as a letter to be publicly read. John wrote and sent this letter to seven specific Churches. John also stressed t...

Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. " (John 8:12) Light is a powerful symbol and practical necessity. Without it, we wouldn’t have night time events. In chapter 8, Jesus is teaching in Jerusalem during the feast of Tabernacles. Large lamp stands were placed in the Temple Court to illuminate the way for pilgrims. Light takes on a symbolic and theological image in this context as well. We understand light as a reference to the darkness of sin, “ In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it .” (1:4-5) Looking further into chapter 9, we see that light is more appropriately juxtaposed with blindness. Those who are confident in their own “light” (idea that they possess the wisdom to turn from darkness” are blind. Jesus is the light...
