Good news:   Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.  All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them.  I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.  I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me --  just as the Father knows me and I know the Father -- and I lay down my life for the sheep.  John 10.7-10, 15
