John 10:9, He said, "I am the
gate." The Greek word
translated "gate" means "an
entrance or passage
into." In
this passage, Jesus used the
image of sheep going through a
gate. "I am the gate for the
sheep," He said -- thus
proclaiming Himself as the
entrance to "green pastures,"
the place of safety and
sustenance. In
John 14:6, Jesus used the
other part of our name. He
said, "I am the way." The
Greek word we translate "way"
is hodos, which means
"a traveled road," or "the
avenue of a traveler's
journey." So
Jesus is not only the "gate"
(the entrance), He is also the
road on which we travel after
entering the gate. Therefore,
the name "Gateway" speaks of
the person and work of Christ.
He is the Gate and the
Way. |
