152. The Door of the Sheep
All Christians believe that Jesus is the door to the sheepfold, as He said, “Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.” (John 10:7-9)
153. Jesus’ Voice

160. Who is Our Neighbor
All Christians believe that the answer to the question, who is our neighbor, is the story of the Good Samaritan, a national enemy, who cared for a robbery victim after two Jewish religious leaders had passed him by. (Luke 10:30-37)
