Front Gate

“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. (John 10:1, 2 NIV)

Anything not done in order may not be of God. God is a God of order and will always do things in the most appropriate way possible. 

If anyone wants to do any shortcut, explicitly showing a way other than the gate is possible not God's ways.

No to shortcuts. Go through the main gate!

Lord, help me recognize those who take shortcuts and those who really follow you even if it's hard.  Thank you for the reminder. In. Jesus' name, amen
