GATEWAY
101: OUR NAME From In
John 10:9, He said, "I am the gate."
The Greek word translated "gate" means
"an entrance or passage
into." In
this passage, Jesus used the image of
sheep going through a gate. "I am the
gate for the sheep," He said -- thus
proclaiming Himself as the entrance to
"green pastures," the place of safety
and sustenance. In
John 14:6, Jesus used the other part of
our name. He said, "I am the way." The
Greek word we translate "way" is
hodos, which means "a traveled
road," or "the avenue of a traveler's
journey." So
Jesus is not only the "gate" (the
entrance), He is also the road on which
we travel after entering the
gate. Therefore,
the name "Gateway" speaks of the person
and work of Christ. He is the Gate and
the Way.

Why
'Gateway' Church?
Throughout
the Bible, names aren't just names --
they have an underlying meaning or
significance. The name "Jesus," for
example, means "the LORD saves." This
is why the angel who foretold his birth
said, "You shall call his name Jesus,
because he will save his people from
their sins" (Matt. 1:21).
The
name "Gateway" combines two words Jesus
used in describing Himself.
