Jesus, the Gate

JESUS IS THE GATE.

"So Jesus spoke to them again: In all truth I tell you, I am the gate of the sheepfold."
- John  10:7

Being the Gate, it is only through the Lord Jesus Christ that we can go to the Father [John 14:6] and it is through Him that all the children of God have access to the Father in the one Spirit [Ephesians 2:18] and so boast in the hope of the glory of God [Romans 5:2]

Those who enter the sheepfold in other ways are thieves [John 10:1] but the shepherd enters through the Gate [John 10:2]. Hence in a safe and sure manner enter and go out of the sheepfold in order to find pasture for the sheep [John 10:9].  

He is also the narrow gate that leads to life [Matthew 7:14]. While other gates are wide and spacious but they lead to destruction [Matthew 7:13].

Would you enter the narrow but true Gate? Or would you try finding the wide and spacious but destructive gates in order to gain access into the Fold?
