Have you ever felt like you were on the outside looking in? Maybe it was a relationship, a calling or just a season where you felt stuck and unsure where to turn. In John 10, Jesus gives you this beautiful image of Himself—not as a distant figure, but as a gate. A way in. A place of safety and freedom.
When Jesus calls Himself the gate, He’s saying that through Him, you don’t just survive—you find life. Real life. He protects you from what could harm you, and He leads you into what will nourish you. You’re not just slipping through a side door. You’re entering into something sacred and secure.
So what does it mean for you to walk through that gate today? It might look like leaning into His Word instead of your own wisdom. It could mean surrendering a fear you’ve been carrying or choosing His way even when it’s not the easiest path. Whatever it is, the invitation is open—step in.
And here’s the promise: you won’t just be safe, you’ll be filled. “Finding pasture” isn’t just poetic—it’s a picture of abundance. Peace. Rest. Renewal. Like a shepherd leading his sheep to the quiet places, Jesus is ready to lead you into more.
Let today be the day you take that step through the gate. There’s life on the other side.
