In the same context that Jesus calls Himself The Good Shepherd, He also refers to Himself as the door of the sheep. Not only does He watchfully and tenderly care for His sheep, He also guards the door from enemies and leads His sheep to green pastures. Jesus is the door to all that is good, and the only door by which such riches may be attained and everlastingly enjoyed. He is the door to heaven itself.

Do you love Jesus? Is He at work in your heart and life? If you do and if He is, then you will talk about Him. And when we talk about Christ our hearts will be increasingly stirred with affection for Him!

As believers we must be vigilant in reading the Word daily so we know what it says and we can tell what is "heirloom" or pure biblical truth and what is "hybrid" or changed, altered truth. My prayer is that though the help of the Holy Spirit, God would give us a greater understanding of His Word and a longing to know it and hide it in our hearts (Psalm 119:11)

In His Word you will grow in your relationship with Him, I assure you. If you're struggling with understanding it, do reach out to someone you know who can help. Just as the kings who were "good" had good company, so it will also benefit you. Pray for understanding of His Word, God desires for us to know Him and He is faithful to answer everything according to His will.

Jesus method of grace is not sweeping her sin under the rug. He clearly commands her to not go on sinning. His method of truth is not fear driven. He does not shame her. Instead he extends grace, which powerfully leads her to the truth. Do you believe that God's grace is more powerful than the fear of consequences? Do you believe that the Truth is what will ultimately set you free? As Christians, I pray the Holy Spirit helps shape our hearts and minds to be a people that rightly reflect Gods character... Full of Grace and Truth.
