Jesus said: I tell you for certain that I am the gate for the sheep.
“I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father.
And because of Christ, all of us can come to the Father by the same Spirit.
Jesus said: I tell you for certain only thieves and robbers climb over the fence instead of going in through the gate to the sheep pen.
I am the gate. All who come in through me will be saved. Through me they will come and go and find pasture.
They are my sheep; I am their God, and I take care of them.
Then we, your people, will always thank you. We are like sheep with you as our shepherd, and all generations will hear us praise you.
You know the Lord is God! He created us, and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep in his pasture.
The Lord is our God, and we are his people, the sheep he takes care of in his own pasture. Listen to God's voice today!
All of us were like sheep that had wandered off. We had each gone our own way, but the Lord gave him the punishment we deserved.
The towns that now lie in ruins will be filled with people, just as Jerusalem was once filled with sheep to be offered as sacrifices during a festival. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
