Open 24/7

Reflection

Hey there, you're probably wondering what sets being a Christian apart, right? It's not about following a set of rules or even about being morally superior: it's about believing in an individual, someone who brings a fresh perspective and a purpose to our lives.

You might've heard a line from John's Gospel that goes like this: "I am the gate." And you're probably like, a gate to where exactly? Well, it's the gateway to a life that's full to the brim.

Nowadays, there's a risk of us selling ourselves short, being okay with just the basics. But the Gospel is like a hype man, pushing us not to settle for a half-baked life, but to embrace life in all its intensity. So let's step through this gate, because this passageway to a full life? It's open 24/7.

Reading

Acts 2:14a, 36-41; Psalm 23; 1 Peter 2:20b-25; John 10:1-10

Meditation (John 10: 1-10)

The whole vibe here centers around the idea of "care." You ever stopped to think about all the different ways you've been looked after? It's like opening your eyes to realize that you're being cared for by the ultimate homie, God, through Jesus.

"Guidance" is another big theme. Ever found yourself completely spun around in the maze of life, desperate for some sort of direction? Where did you find the way out? Does God's word act as your GPS in this wild world today?

When you're searching for some kind of meaning, was there a moment you realized the Gospel isn't just a lesson, but it's actually like a living, breathing person?

We all crave to live life to the max, to really experience everything it has to offer. What's the scene like for you at this moment in your life? How does your faith in Jesus, as the ultimate gatekeeper, fit into your story?
