"I AM" Holy Week Meditation - Day 4

Submitted by Rob on March 20, 2008 - 12:42pm.

Spirit Garage the church with the Really Big Door, believes in a very narrow gate – Jesus. Today we read the statements where Jesus claims “I am the gate.”

Jesus said, "I am telling you the truth: the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber. The man who goes in through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him; the sheep hear his voice as he calls his own sheep by name, and he leads them out. When he has brought them out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. They will not follow someone else; instead, they will run away from such a person, because they do not know his voice." Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he meant. So Jesus said again, "I am telling you the truth: I am the gate for the sheep. All others who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Those who come in by me will be saved; they will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life—life in abundance. (John 10:1-10). Thankfully even those in the presence of Jesus as he said this “did not understand what he meant.” To hear my thoughts, read more. . .
