go with the 1st method

Saturday April 19th, John 10: 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. Through Christ we have life. We go in and we come out and we find that which sustains us. Without Christ we have work. We may find that which sustains us, but talk about work. God provided the way of Christ, and sometimes we even turn that into work. But the life of a child of God is one of being in the presence of Christ, and there finding our meaning in life, rather than working up to some high that almost makes it. You can go through the gate, pick up your cross and be on your way or you can try to go over the wall, and eventually pick up your cross and be on your way. I recommend the first method.
