JESUS IS THE GATE
Date : Friday, May 03, 2024
Passage : John 10:1~10
Keyverse : 9
1
"Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2
The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice."
6
Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
7
Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8
All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.
9
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
The true shepherd and a thief differ in their motives of approaching the sheep. The thief comes to the sheep to steal and use them for his benefit. The shepherd calls them by name and leads them to the pasture. He knows each sheep by its strength, weakness, problems, and the like. He leads them by his example by going on ahead of them. Sheep know, trust, and follow their shepherd. Jesus knows each of his sheep individually, and guides them very personally. His sheep know that Jesus is the good shepherd who loves them and leads them by his examples. They trust his words and follow him. Those who have the good shepherd Jesus are truly blessed and cared for.
Jesus is the gate. No one could enter or leave the sheep pen except by crossing over the shepherd. Jesus is the gate to heaven. No one can go to God and his kingdom except through Christ Jesus. He is the only gate to salvation and an abundant life. Thieves come to steal, kill, and destroy the sheep. But Jesus came to give his life to the sheep so that they could have salvation and life to the fullest. Hence, Jesus’ sheep have the privilege of going “in and out” and finding pasture.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me salvation and life in its fullness. Help me trust and follow you as the shepherd who leads my life to your kingdom.
One Word: Jesus is the gate to God’s kingdom
