The assigned Gospel reading for last Sunday  in the Revised Common Lectionary is John 10:1-10.  It's part of a long extended metaphor Jesus makes about sheep and shepherds.  And one of the things he says in it is "I am the gate."  It's one of the seven great I Am statements of Jesus in the Gospel of John.

Given that it's an assigned reading in the RCL, it gets read in church every three years (in churches which use the RCL).  Every time, I have that scene from Ghostbusters stuck in my head.

You know the one.
