Where is the door into the sheepfold?

The door into the sheepfold is not on a high, inaccessible cliff, across a raging river, or across the ocean. It is at ground level, right in front of every human being as they sojourn through this life, so God is absolutely just and fair.

Les teaches from John's Gospel, chapter 10, the shepherd and the sheepfold, and always points out that the door into the sheepfold is not up on some high, inaccessible cliff, not across some raging river, not across the ocean. Instead, it is at ground level, right smack in front of every human being as they sojourn through this life. This means God is absolutely just and fair, and people are without excuse.
