Evening: Psalms 42, 43; John 10:1-18
Gates have multiple purposes and meanings. Often, they are to contain animals. When gates are for containing or keeping out people, they seem more ominous. In John’s Gospel, through the Way and Word of Jesus, God shepherds us to freedom - freedom from enslavement ... by other people who may oppress you, or by things that may captivate your soul. Jesus is the gate, through whom you will experience freedom for your spirit, freedom to become yourself. And Jesus is the shepherd in whom you will find a spacious place of welcome for your soul, acceptance for who you are.
