Jesus Told This Simple Story, part 5
Jesus told this simple story,
but they had no idea what he was talking about.
So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then.
I am the Gate for the sheep.
All those others are up to no good
—sheep stealers, every one of them.
But the sheep didn’t listen to them.
I am the Gate.
Anyone who goes through me will be cared for
—will freely go in and out, and find pasture.
A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy.
I came so they can have real and eternal life,
more and better life than they ever dreamed of.”
— John 10:6-10, The Message version
Jesus combined “real” life and “eternal life”as though they belong together.
Because they do, because they are.
May you and I realize that connection today.
