Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What does Jesus claim to be, and how does he contrast himself with the thieves and robbers?
  2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

    • If Jesus is the one gate to real life, what other doors have you been trying?
  3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

    • What would it look like this week to enter through him — to trust him, not something else, as your way to God?
  4. Who will I tell?

    • Who could you tell about the difference between the thief who takes and the one who gives life to the full?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, you said you are the gate, and that whoever enters through you will be saved and find life to the full. I don't want another way in — I want you.
