In and Out with the Shepherd (Jn 10:9)

Jesus leads His sheep into the sheepfold. That's the place of safety, comfort, familiarity, and pleasantry. All the sheep are together in a confined space within four walls. Doesn't that sound similar to Sunday morning service?

Pasture is found outside the sheepfold. Jesus leads His sheep out to pasture. Pasture involves some risk or hazard. This happens when we're not within the four walls of the church.

Christian living is a series of in and out movements.
