Gates of Paradise
January 13, 2016
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
John 10:9
Italian artist Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378â1455) spent years skillfully crafting images of Jesusâ life into the bronze doors of Italyâs Florence Baptistery. These bronze reliefs were so moving that Michelangelo called them the Gates of Paradise.
As an artistic treasure, the doors greet visitors with echoes of the gospel story. It was Jesus who said, âI am the gate; whoever enters through me will be savedâ (John 10:9). On the night before His crucifixion, He told His disciples, âI am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through meâ (14:6). Within a few hours Jesus would say to one of the criminals being crucified at His side, âToday you will be with me in paradiseâ (Luke 23:43).
The apostle Peter a few weeks later boldly proclaimed to those who had called for Jesusâ death that âthere is no other name under heaven . . . by which we must be savedâ (Acts 4:12). Years later, the apostle Paul wrote that there is only one mediator between God and humanityâthe man Christ Jesus (1 Tim. 2:5).
The gates of paradise are found in the Savior who offers everlasting life to all who believe and come to Him. Enter into the joy of His salvation.
I needed a mediator because of my sin. Thank You, Jesus, for being the way to the Father by Your death and resurrection. I will be forever grateful.
Jesus died in our place to give us His peace.
Jewish shepherds kept their sheep in two kinds of sheepfolds. In the villages, the shepherds led their flocks into stone-walled communal enclosures guarded by gatekeepers (John 10:1â5). In the morning, the shepherd would arrive at the gate, be recognized by the gatekeeper, and be allowed to enter the sheepfold. As the shepherd walked and called among the mixed flocks, only his own sheep would respond to him. Hearing and recognizing the shepherdâs voice, his sheep would follow him out of the sheepfold to the pasture. Out in the wilderness, sheepfolds were often makeshift low-walled enclosures made of stones. The shepherd slept across a narrow opening in front to protect them and keep them from wandering (vv. 7â9). Jesus said, âI am the gate for the sheepâ (v. 7).

You Should Drive a Blue Car |
You're the type of driver who isn't hung up on the what car you drive. You don't need a flashy car to show off your wealth or style. Instead, you go for value and reliability. You're quite practical. You're a great driver, but you don't show off. Part of your skill is not standing out on the road. |

You Should Drive a Yellow Car |
You're the type of driver who doesn't mind giving someone a break on the road. You are eternally cheerful, and a little bad traffic is never going to affect your mood. And while you're definitely laid back, a part of you also loves to be noticed. You're a performer at heart. And you love showing off a few slick driving moves every now and then! |
Well close, I drive a green SUV :-)

You Should Drive a Silver Car |
You're the type of driver who doesn't really pay attention to other cars on the road. You are calm, focused, and clear headed. Driving is simply a task for you. And you aren't one to be too fussy about what you drive. Basing your status on a car is a little beneath you. |
Amazing...that is what I drive.

You Should Drive a Pink Car |
You're the type of driver who really loves your car. You can make a car last for ages - or take good care of a vintage ride. You're independent, creative, and very expressive. You consider your car a part of you ... and you want to make it as funky as possible. |

Hi Luv! Rumor has it (according to the quiz) I should drive a red car. For me, driving is racing. I want to finish first. Although my 1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 was white with American Blue racing stripes. That car got me in some trouble.

You Should Drive a Mud Truck
You're the type of driver who doesn't give a crap about the road at all, and the color of your rig hardly matters, though it is probably 'calico'. You are eternally grateful that a little bad traffic is never going to affect you in the least, because you are perfectly happy to pass them in the ditch without having to reduce speed. And you're definitely laid back, especially when hauling ass up a mountain. Your truck is a performer at heart. And you love showing off a few slick driving moves every now and then down at the mud pit! |

You Should Drive a Green Car |
You're the type of driver who sees driving as a necessary evil. You much rather be biking or taking a pleasant walk to where you're going. NOT!!!!!! And because of this, you tend to be a "green driver" - as best as you can. Whether this means driving a hybrid, supporting alternative fuels, or simply not littering out your window.That is such a bunch of hogwash! I defy "green" whenever I can...well, I don't litter.... and I'd still like a yellow car, please!! |

You Should Drive a Red Car |
You're the type of driver who isn't afraid to be the fastest on the road. You have a lot of energy built up, and you tend to get your adrenaline fix from driving. Moving at hyper speed, you tend to be annoyed with slow drivers and slow people. Life's too short to be slowed down by someone else! |
