9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT TO THE FULL.
11 ‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10
This is Holy Week, the week that the world wide Church remembers Christ’s crucifixion in Jerusalem. The Lord didn’t die in vain and the enemy was stripped of much of his power when Christ rose from the grave and conquered death on behalf of the people of this earth. Jesus said in John’s Gospel that He came to give us life, not just life, but abundant (overflowing) life. There should be an overflow from the life of the Believer, Christ’s life flowed out from Jerusalem and is filling the whole earth with ‘the knowledge of the Glory of God’. God wants us to overflow, no matter how small we think we’re able to do it. God has called us to be ‘salt and light’ to this world, to people who are still in darkness and suffering. Ask the Lord to show you how and where you can speak for and serve Him. Don’t miss the opportunity (open door) that He’s made for you to walk through.
May the Lord bless and keep you in this Holy Week of His Passion. Immanuel, God is with us.
