We learn in John 10:5-10 that JESUS, as the Good Shepherd, provides for us, protects us, and prepares a place for us in green pasture and in Heaven...  HE is the Gate for the sheep.  HE is the one, we as Believers listen to. HE willingly lays down HIS life for the sheep and takes it up again by GOD's authority given which gives us victory in and through HIM...
