St Matthew 7: 13-14 NIV
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Somewhere else in the NT it says to strive to enter into the narrow gate and then it says why ... to go out to pasture

5 For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, 7 and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love. 8 For if these things are yours and are increasing among you, they keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

St Peter even said why he was offering this advice, because he was headed on home to heaven just as Jesus had told him he would and that he wanted to leave something behind for all of us to agree.

John said it all !

1“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up by another way, that one is a thief and a robber.

2“But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3“The doorkeeper opens for him, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

4“And when he has brought out his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

5“And they shall by no means follow a stranger, but shall flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”

6יהושע used this figure of speech, but they did not know what He had been saying to them.

7יהושע therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.

8“All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

9“I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture.

10“The thief does not come except to steal, and to slaughter, and to destroy. I have come that they might possess life, and that they might possess it beyond measure.

11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

12“But the hireling, and not being a shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

13“Now the hireling flees because he is a hireling and is not concerned about the sheep.

14“I am the good shepherd.a And I know Mine, and Mine know Me,

15even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

16“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

36“Therefore let all the house of Yisra’ĕl know for certain that Elohim has made this יהושע, whom you impaled, both Master and Messiah.”

37And having heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kĕpha and the rest of the emissaries, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”

38And Kĕpha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah for the forgiveness of sins.a And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit.

39“For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as יהוה our Elohim shall call.”

40And with many other words he earnestly witnessed and urged them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”a

41Then those, indeed, who gladly received his word, were immersed. And on that day about three thousand beings were added to them.

23“And I shall raise up over them one shepherd, My servant Dawiḏ, and he shall feed them. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.

24while Dawiḏ My servant is sovereign over them. And they shall all have one shepherd and walk in My right-rulings and guard My laws, and shall do them.

( Ezek 34/37 )

21יהושע said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Yerushalayim, worship the Father.

22“You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because the deliverance is of the Yehuḏim.a

23“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.

24“Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”

25The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, the One who is called Anointed. When that One comes, He shall announce to us all.”

26יהושע said to her, “I who am speaking to you am He.”

Hallelu-YAH .
