Message from From Your Pastor
|
|
Brothers and Sisters, the Readings of the Fourth Sunday of Easter bring to light this content: before calling Himself the Good Shepherd, Jesus identifies Himself as the gate or door for the sheep. In ancient sheepfolds, the shepherd often lay across the entrance at night, physically becoming the barrier against predators and thieves. By calling Himself the gate, Jesus declares that He is the only legitimate way into the safety of God's fold. Through Him, the sheep come in and go out and find pasture, symbolizing both security and abundant provision. This metaphor emphasizes exclusivity meaning salvation is found in no other -and accessibility- anyone who enters through Him will be saved. If we belong to the loyal flock of Christ, we are also called to share in His shepherding. In a time when many wander without direction, our witness can help others hear the voice of the Good Shepherd. So today and always let us renew our trust in the One who knows our name, calls us to life, and walks with us every step of the way leading us to salvation.
