Summary
I Am The Gate In this poetic passage of Scripture, Jesus weaves in and out of several images. He is the Gate, the Gatekeeper, and the Shepherd. This week, we will consider what it means for Jesus to be the Gate. A gate shows us how to enter correctly. A gate keeps people safely inside, but it also keeps people outside. Is Jesus a gate of exclusion? A gate of inclusion? This name is one we are invited to wrestle with, to ponder, and to give deep consideration. How will this name shape us? John 10: 1-10
