In this week’s gospel text, Jesus tells us that he is the shepherd and gatekeeper for the sheep. Because the sheep know the shepherd’s voice, Jesus says, they will follow him. But Jesus also warns us that while there will be many competing voices from charlatans, the sheep will not follow them -- it is only through the gate (Jesus) that we attain true life.
