We are the ministers of this reconciliation. If human hatred, cruelty, and injustice could be healed by education or culture it would have been done long since. No, the problem is too deep in the humankind. A power outside ourselves must bring us together. A person, not a force, must change us.

We, through John, have seen the signs of Jesus. He was Lord of creation, provider of food, source of light, restorer of life. Fragmented mankind is hopeless without his personal touch. To this end we have been entrusted with his message, his good news: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”

Since Jesus Christ is “the Door,” we would expect a division, because a door shuts some people in and others out! He is the Good Shepherd, and the shepherd must separate the sheep from the goats. It is impossible to be neutral about Jesus Christ; for, what we believe about Him is a matter of life or death (John 8:24).
