The Good Shepherd

John 10 verses 1-10.

Jesus is the good God, the good shepherd, but only within His pasture area that we as His sheep are put in, inside not outside, remember that.

You cannot graze anywhere else except where Jesus is the shepherd who provides for you

v1. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. v2. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. v3. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. v4. When he has put out all his own sheep, he goes before them, and they follow him, because they know his voice. v5. But a stranger they will never follow; but they will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” v6. Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.

v7 . Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door for the sheep. v8. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. v9. I am the door. Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

V10. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

This is your way, if you will.

Jesus will. But will you follow Him and be faithful to Him?

It is free to be saved/born again, but you must be aware that if you want to walk with Jesus as your Shepherd and His other sheep and lambs in His fold, it will cost you everything you own. Everything that you yourself believe is so right and good has no value unless Jesus does it through you by His Spirit. So He does not have any "black" sheep or any mixed sheep, someone who is both one and the other. I want to say. When I write "black" sheep I do not mean the color of people but the color of your heart and mind from which your thoughts and life originate. Jesus only has clean washed sheep and not anyone who is half dirty. In the blood of Jesus everyone is cleansed from all their own injustice and life. And everyone who wants to be cleansed will be. But not without you yourself entering the fold of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the door into the fold, but you must enter through the door of Jesus Christ yourself, otherwise you will always stand outside bawling, and only hear and see how the sheep inside the fold are doing and experiencing everything with God in Jesus.

Welcome to enter through the door and into the fold. Outside or inside where will Jesus find you when He comes back to earth to take His flock inside the fold to Himself?

Amen.
