The Lord
has been showing me about Gates for
some time, now. In all the years of the
past I have never heard anyone teach on the 12 Gates and how they are a
treasure in the picture of our journey.
Particularly, I am learning of the Sheep Gate, and how our precious
Lord, the Good Shepherd goes with the
sheep, (as they are prone to wander). He
goes thru the same door as the sheep, and by the way in which they go, even to stoop down (taking the body of man), to
go thru the door which is provided for them, because being such as they are,
they need the sheepfold for a defense, and cannot enter by any other way.
Wow. Does that not tell you of His heart
of love for man?
According
to Andrew Jukes, “If anyone ‘climbs up’, showing by doing such, that he is superior
to the sheep, or if he goes by a nearer or higher way, in which the sheep
cannot follow him, they, being only sheep; he has not a shepherd’s heart and
shows that he is a thief. For in
meddling with sheep, a man will either be a shepherd or a thief – Men do not
meddle with them without intending to either serve themselves or to serve the
sheep.”
Jesus came
to us as our shepherd, to bring us with Him into glory. We follow Him and His way, for He has walked
it before us, and won the victory. Then
we, the proclaiming and remnant ones are gates as well to the generations after
us. We teach and preach and write the
secrets of the Kingdom, for are walking where others have not walked before,
but we are leaving a trail of His glory behind us that those that follow may
run.
