The Narrow Gate
(Luke 13:22–30)
Matthew 7:13-14BSB

• Jesus chose that precise moment (John 7:2) to reveal Himself as the true, enduring source of water, satisfying what the ritual merely pictured.

John 10:9-11 BSB
Jesus the Good Shepherd
…9I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
