Jesus emphasized, “I can guarantee this truth: I am the gate for the sheep.
Realize that the Lord alone is God. He made us, and we are his. We are his people and the sheep in his care.
Then we, your people, the flock in your pasture, will give thanks to you forever. We will praise you throughout every generation.
because he is our God and we are the people in his care, the flock that he leads. If only you would listen to him today!
We have all strayed like sheep. Each one of us has turned to go his own way, and the Lord has laid all our sins on him.
You, my sheep, are the sheep in my pasture. You are mortal, and I am your God, declares the Almighty Lord.’ ”
They will be like the sheep for sacrifices, like the sheep in Jerusalem during the appointed festivals. Their ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
“I can guarantee this truth: The person who doesn’t enter the sheep pen through the gate but climbs in somewhere else is a thief or a robber.
I am the gate. Those who enter the sheep pen through me will be saved. They will go in and out of the sheep pen and find food.
Jesus answered him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.
So Jewish and non-Jewish people can go to the Father in one Spirit.
