Jesus Is!
Advent Devotional Guide
Friday, December 8, 2023
Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the GATE for the sheep. All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:7-10
This sounds a bit like yesterday’s passage. “I am the way — the gate.” Anybody who tries to find a different way to get in is not coming through the main door but through another unacceptable passage. They are up to no good.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” “I am Life.”
Do the disciples think he sounds like a broken record? I don’t think so. I don’t think they have pieced all of the puzzle together yet. They will at some point.
What about us? Have we entered into God’s presence through the Gate which is Jesus Christ? Are we sharing this crucial information with our friends and family or are we keeping it to ourselves?
Lord, Thank you that the way to heaven is so simple. Give us an opportunity today to explain the Gate to someone. May you be glorified through our humble efforts.
