Sheep's Gate
Gateway of Sacrificial Love
Sheep Gate (aka Lion or Steven’s Gate)
John 10:1-18
This gate’s history reflects much of the Lord desires for us now. This gate was not only the entrance in which lambs where brought through for sacrifice, but also the gate in which Yeshua passed through before his crucifixion. In addition it is dedicated to the martyrdom of Steven (Acts 7:54-60). This history combine directs us to two main points. First, that Yeshua was the spotless Passover Lamb and by his blood we can have boldness to enter his Kingdom. And secondly, that he is calling us to the highest level of love—one that gives up their life just like he had. He desires us to deny ourselves, to take up our cross and follow him in extravagant love. We are to die with him, become nothing, and there experience the greatest level of love. We must not only die, but also live, as martyrs.
This painting shows a generation who is covered in the blood of the Lamb, and has also embraced the pathway of dieing daily to self so that they may be filled with the greatest level of love for God. Yeshua, the Shepard, is calling his sheep to pass through this gate—and the Gate, his Him.
