Nehemiah 3 - The 10 Gates Symbolic of the Christian's Life
Jenn delves into Nehemiah chapter three, exploring the symbolic significance of Jerusalem's gates in the Christian life. There's one gate for every step a Christian takes:
- The Sheep Gate - Accepting Jesus
- The Fish Gate - Evangelizing
- The Old Gate - Having faith in God's Word
- The Valley Gate - God with us
- The Dung Gate - Removing sin
- The Fountain Gate - Being refreshed and cleansed
- The Water Gate - Reading the Word
- The Horse Gate - Looking for Jesus' triumphant return
- The East Gate - Waiting for Jesus' return
- The Inspection Gate - The judgement
These gates are not just historical references. They have deep symbolic meaning in the Christian walk.
