“so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.”
John 10:7-9 NLT
Jesus speaks plainly here about being the entrance way to good pasture, and safety. True sheep hear His voice and respond, false sheep do not.
I have a side gate to my backyard. It is essential for taking wheelbarrows, mowers and garbage out to the kerbside for pickup. I have a lock on my gate so that I restrict who comes into my yard. Jesus inferred that He was secure when He said, “all who came before me were thieves and robbers”. In other words He was secure. We can trust Him!
