10:9 What does Jesus mean by what He says here?
By calling Himself the "door", Jesus is simply saying that He is the way to eternal life (CP Jn 3:16; 6:44; 14:6; Ac 4:10-12; Eph 2:18). "…by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved…", means that whoever believes on Jesus and conforms to His word will be saved (CP Jn 14:15, 21; Rev 22:14).
Jesus' expression, shall go in and out and find pasture, means that believers in Christ can freely fellowship anywhere within the New Testament church and be fed spiritually, provided that they always remain in Christ and conform to His way. Pasture here is used figuratively of spiritual food.
