John 10 - "I am the Gate"

John 10.1-10

"Open to God"

We will spend two Sundays on John 10. In the first half, Jesus says that he is the gate. The Bible talks a lot about sheep and shepherds. Jesus uses an everyday image that was familiar to his audience.

Sheep were so crucial to worship in the Temple, that Nehemiah 3 describes the restoration of the Sheep Gate, on the Northeast corner of the Temple.

Sheep bond with their shepherds, recoginizing their voices and responding to their songs.

May we listen for the voice of our shepherd.

Pray for our youth and their chaperones on their trip to Massanetta. Have fun and grow in Christ together!
