Wednesday Class (2/23/22)

Jesus is the gate for the sheep. When nightfall came, shepherds would gather their flock together in a sheep pen to keep them safe from harm. The shepherd would lie down in the opening to make sure none of the sheep escaped, and no predators came in. In one sense, Jesus stands in the gap and protects us from harm, but he also opens a path towards food and nourishment for his people. So whether we are coming or going, Jesus opens the way to exactly what we need.
