John 10:7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, 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.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. I have read these verse many times but I have never considered the fact that the ministry of angels could be entwined into the Hebrew understanding of these verses. At the end of the first chapter of the book of Hebrews we find this statement in the Passion Translation: "What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved." How do angels serve those who are going to be saved? When we look at the word pictures behind the Hebrew for angel or messenger we find: they come from authority to prod us towards what is first in finding the way of life. The last letter in the Hebrew word for angel is the letter Dalet which represents a door.
