Two of the “I Am” statements refer to Jesus as both the “Good Shepherd” and the “Door of the sheep.” Here are clear references to Jesus as the God of the Old Testament, the Shepherd of Israel (Psalm 23:1, 80:1; Jeremiah 31:10; Ezekiel 34:23) and, as the only Door into the sheepfold, the only way of salvation.
Kauli mbili za "Mimi Ndimi" zinarejelea Yesu kama "Mchungaji mwema" na “Mlango wa kondoo zake" Hapa kuna marejeleo kwa Yesu kama Mungu wa Agano la Kale, Mchungaji wa Israeli (Zaburi 23: 1, 80: 1; Yeremia 31:10, Ezekieli 34:23), na kama Mlango tu wa kipee wa kuingia katika zizi la kondoo, njia ya pekee ya wokovu.
