Gatekeepers

John 10:1-5 “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. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

It appears to me that God is raising up Gatekeepers from different segments of our society and they are opening new doors for the Church to enter.  They are school principals, mayors, university presidents, businessmen and many others.  People who have influence over distinct people groups in our communities.  They are people of influence who are allowing the Church unprecedented access to the lost in their care.

What about you?  Are you a Gatekeeper?  Can you open doors so people of faith can enter and minister to the sheep in your care?  Think about it.
