I AM the GATE FOR THE SHEEP and the GOOD SHEPHERD

This sermon explores Jesus' declarations in John 10 that He is both "the gate" and "the good shepherd," emphasizing His exclusive role as the way to salvation and eternal life. Delivered during the Christmas season, the message connects Jesus' healing of a man born blind with His proclamation of being the Messiah. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus is the only entrance into God's family, not through human morality, religious performance, or self-improvement, but through His sacrificial death and resurrection. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus knows His sheep personally, will never abandon them, and has laid down His life to provide abundant life and eternal security for all who believe in Him.
