Open the gates of righteousness; I will enter and thank the Lord.
This is the Lord’s own gate, through it in the righteous enter.
I thank you for you answered me; you have been my savior.
The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.
By the Lord has this been done; it is wonderful in your eyes.
Psalm 118:19-23
The psalmist writes about going through the gates of the Temple. He will go to the Temple to thank the Lord for saving him and answering his prayers of salvation.
Jesus is the new gate to salvation. Through him we are made righteous and able to enter into a relationship with our heavenly Father. He is our salvation from our sins and our faults and our failings.
Thank Jesus today for saving you from your sins.
