Join Lucy and Jesse as they discover what happens when they go exploring farther than they were supposed to! When they get lost, how will their Shepherd ever find them? What happens to Lucy and Jesse when the forest animals start prowling around?This story was written after meditating on John 10 and I was left wondering, what does it mean that Jesus is our gate? As I explored ancient Eastern shepherding I discovered what Jesus meant by the Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. The shepherd and sheep develop a tender relationship and He guards His sheep with His very Life. And the wonderful thing about Jesus being our gate, is that nothing can get past Jesus! He is our safety! What a wonderful thought to fall asleep to! Read this story again and again to teach your children about God's deep love and strong protection that He freely gives to each child of His.Jesus told this simple story. I am the Gate for the sheep. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. I came so they can have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance, till it overflows, more than they ever dreamed of. “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his own life for the sheep, puts the sheep before himself, sacrifices himself if necessary. A hired man is not a real shepherd. The sheep mean nothing to him. He sees a wolf come and runs for it, leaving the sheep to be ravaged and scattered by the wolf. He’s only in it for the money, and is not concerned about the safety of the sheep. “I am the Good Shepherd. I know without any doubt those who are my own sheep and my own sheep know me and have a deep, personal relationship with Me. I put the sheep before myself, and I lay down my own life, sacrificing it for the benefit of the sheep. "
