SoulWork Notes
Learning to See: The Gate For The Sheep, a meditation on John 10:7-10.
Welcome back to our series, Learning to See, where we are walking closely with Jesus through the Gospel of John, learning to see him as he reveals himself. We are using a favorite prayer method - Lectio Divina, a Latin phrase that translates as “Divine Reading” but simply means a close reading of a passage of scripture.
Meet the Gate for the Sheep
So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. -John 10:7-10, NIV
SoulWork Homework
- This week, sit with Jesus as your Gatekeeper.
- Recall a time when you strayed and Jesus brought you back.
- Recall a time when you stayed in the gate.
- Write a praise of gratitude in your journal for both times.
- Speak your praise out loud to the Lord.
