Today, we jump back into the Gospel of John. We’re in John 10:1-42. In this passage, we read two more "I am" statements of Jesus. "I am the good shepherd" and "I am the door." Jesus uses imagery that is central to the heritage of Israel to show that he is the promised Messiah; the shepherd-leader of God's people. Just as sheep return to their shepherd through the door of the sheep-fold, those who believe in Jesus enter into a loving, protective relationship with God.
We encourage you to walk through this liturgy at 10 am if you can (our normal gathering time). While we can’t be together physically, we can walk through the scriptures and worship, and pray for one another simultaneously.
Consider sharing this with others outside of our SMR family. While we cannot invite others to our normal gathering, we can invite them to hear the gospel. This provides a unique missional opportunity for each of us. Consider sending out the link and inviting others to watch. Then follow up with a conversation.
