Evening: Psalm 136; John 10:7-17
Yesterday, Jesus called himself ‘Bread’. Today, he is ‘the Gate.’ Later he speaks about laying down his life on our behalf. When someone is ready to forget themselves for you – maybe your mother gives up her own opportunities to open up opportunities for you; or your father acts with humility so you can feel good about yourself – when people do these simple but profound things, they become ‘gates’ to new possibilities. Jesus, sacrificing his life, opens up a Way for us courageously to confront ‘wolves’ or ‘thieves’ or ‘bandits’, living life to the fullest, and thus becoming ‘gates’ for others.
