Jesus claims 2 things:
- I am the gate for the sheep
- I am the good shepherd
a sheep is one who LISTENS to His voice (verse 3b/16b) prob the most important imho
I love to cross reference with John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
final thoughts:
- Truth is a person, a good shepherd, Jesus Christ
- He speaks the Word of truth and His sheep LISTENS
- He is the gateway through which we know Him
- It’s not just information, it’s truth, in a person
- That we know, love, and walk through life with
