"…I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away – and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep…"

John 10:9-15

Light or darkness. Good or bad. Which route are you taking? With Jesus there is joy in our life. Without Him there is fear and anxiety. Whom do you choose to trust with your life? The thief or the Savior?

God’s truth is the best protection against Satan’s lies.
