John 10:1-6
“Most assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say
to YOU, he (Unbelievers) who does NOT enter The Sheepfold, by The Door (Jesus
Christ), but climbs up some other way, the same (Unbelievers) is a thief and a
robber. But He (Jesus Christ) who ENTERS
by The Door is The Shepherd (Jesus Christ) of The Sheep (Jewish Believers). To Him (Jesus Christ), The Doorkeeper (God
Almighty) OPENS, and The Sheep (Jewish Believers) HEAR His (Jesus Christ’s) Voice;
and He (Jesus Christ) CALLS His (Jesus Christ’s) Own Sheep (Jewish Believers),
by Name, and LEADS Them (Jewish Believers) Out.
And when He (Jesus Christ) BRINGS OUT His (Jesus Christ’s) Own Sheep (Jewish
Believers), He (Jesus Christ) goes BEFORE Them (Jewish Believers); and The Sheep
(Jewish Believers) FOLLOW Him (Jesus Christ), for They (Jewish Believers) KNOW
His (Jesus Christ’s) Voice. Yet They (Jewish
Believers) will by NO MEANS follow a stranger (Unbelievers), but will FLEE from
him (Unbelievers), for They (Jewish Believers) do NOT know the voice of
strangers (Unbelievers).” Jesus (Jesus
Christ) used this illustration, but they (Unbelievers) did NOT understand The Things,
which He (Jesus Christ) spoke to them (Unbelievers).
John 10:7-21
Then Jesus (Jesus Christ) said to
them (Unbelievers) again, “Most assuredly, I (Jesus Christ) say to YOU
(Unbelievers), I (Jesus Christ) AM The Door of The Sheep (Believers). All (Unbelievers) who EVER Came BEFORE Me (Jesus Christ), are thieves and robbers, but
The Sheep (Jewish Believers) did NOT hear them (Unbelievers). I (Jesus Christ) AM The Door. If ANYONE (Believers) ENTERS by Me (Jesus
Christ), He (Believers) Will Be SAVED, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief (Unbelievers) does NOT come, EXCEPT
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I
(Jesus Christ) have COME, that They (Believers) may have Life (Everlasting
Life), and that They (Believers) may have It (Everlasting Life) more abundantly. “I (Jesus Christ) AM The Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd (Jesus Christ) GIVES His (Jesus
Christ’s) Life for The Sheep (Believers).
But a hireling (Unbelievers), he
(Unbelievers) who is NOT The Shepherd (Jesus Christ), one (Unbelievers) who
does NOT own the sheep, sees the wolf (the devil) coming and leaves the sheep
and flees; and the wolf (the devil) catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling (Unbelievers) flees because he (Unbelievers)
is a hireling (Unbelievers) and does NOT care about the sheep. I (Jesus Christ) AM The Good Shepherd; and I (Jesus
Christ) KNOW My (Jesus Christ’s) Sheep
(Believers), and AM KNOWN by My (Jesus Christ’s) Own (Believers). As The Father (God Almighty) KNOWS Me (Jesus
Christ), even so I (Jesus Christ) KNOW The Father (God Almighty); and I (Jesus
Christ) LAY DOWN My (Jesus Christ’s) Life for The Sheep (Believers). And Other Sheep (Gentile Believers) I (Jesus
Christ) have, which are NOT of This Fold (Jewish Believers); Them (Gentile Believers)
also I (Jesus Christ) MUST BRING, and They (Gentile Believers) will HEAR My (Jesus
Christ’s) Voice; and there will be ONE FLOCK (Believers, Jew and Gentile) and ONE SHEPHERD (Jesus Christ). “Therefore My Father (God Almighty) Loves Me
(Jesus Christ), because I (Jesus Christ) LAY DOWN My (Jesus Christ’s) Life,
that I (Jesus Christ) may TAKE IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) again. NO ONE takes It (Jesus Christ’s Life) from Me
(Jesus Christ), but I (Jesus Christ) LAY IT (Jesus Christ’s Life) DOWN of
Myself (Jesus Christ). I (Jesus Christ) have POWER to lay It (Jesus Christ’s
Life) down, and I (Jesus Christ) have POWER to take It (Jesus Christ’s Life)
again. This Command I (Jesus Christ) have
RECEIVED from My (Jesus Christ’s) Father (God Almighty).” Therefore there was a division again among
the Jews, because of These Sayings. And
many of them (Unbelievers) said, “He (Jesus Christ) has a demon and is
mad. Why do YOU listen to Him (Jesus
Christ)?” Others said, “These are NOT
The Words of one who has a demon. Can a
demon OPEN the eyes of the blind?”
John 10:22-30
Now it was The Feast of Dedication
in Jerusalem, and it was Winter. And
Jesus (Jesus Christ) walked in The Temple, in Solomon’s Porch. Then the Jews surrounded Him (Jesus Christ)
and said to Him (Jesus Christ), “How long do YOU (Jesus Christ) keep us
(Unbelievers) in doubt? If YOU (Jesus
Christ) are The Christ, tell us (Unbelievers) plainly.” Jesus (Jesus Christ) answered them
(Unbelievers), “I told YOU (Unbelievers), and YOU (Unbelievers) do NOT
believe. The Works (The Miracles) that I
(Jesus Christ) DO, in My (Jesus Christ’s) Father’s (God Almighty’s) Name, They (The
Works, The Miracles) BEAR WITNESS of Me (Jesus Christ). But YOU (Unbelievers) do NOT believe, because
YOU (Unbelievers) are NOT of My (Jesus Christ’s) Sheep (Believers), as I (Jesus
Christ) said to YOU (Unbelievers). My (Jesus
Christ’s) Sheep (Believers) HEAR My (Jesus Christ’s) Voice, and I (Jesus
Christ) KNOW Them (Believers), and They (Believers) FOLLOW Me (Jesus Christ). And I (Jesus Christ) GIVE Them (Believers)
Eternal Life, and They (Believers) shall NEVER Perish; neither shall anyone SNATCH
Them (Believers) Out of My (Jesus Christ’s) Hand. MY (Jesus Christ’s) FATHER (God Almighty),
who has GIVEN Them (Believers) to
Me (Jesus Christ), IS GREATER THAN ALL; and NO ONE is able to SNATCH Them (Believers) out of MY (Jesus
Christ’s) FATHER’S (God Almighty’s) HAND.
I (Jesus Christ) and MY (Jesus
Christ’s) FATHER (God Almighty) ARE ONE.”
Fellow Believers, this so clearly
tells Us (Believers) how much We (Believers) NEED Jesus Christ. The ONLY way for Us (Believers) to be in God
Almighty’s Immediate Presence, is THROUGH Jesus Christ, period. Jesus Christ IS The Good Shepherd AND Jesus
Christ IS The Door, into God Almighty’s Immediate Presence. We (Believers) ARE His (Jesus Christ’s)
Sheep, We (Believers) HEAR His (Jesus Christ’s) Voice, and We (Believers)
FOLLOW Him (Jesus Christ). We
(Believers) in turn, Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ, The Good Shepherd, with
Others (Yet-To-Be-Believers) so that They (Yet-To-Be-Believers) may HEAR The
Good Shepherd’s Voice, and FOLLOW Him (Jesus Christ), as well.
Please remember, when We (Believers)
ACCEPT God’s Free Gift of Salvation and ASK Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
to come Abide within Us (Believers), through The Holy Spirit, We (Believers)
DEDICATE Our (Believers) Lives to SERVING God Almighty. This includes using Our Spiritual Gifts to
Share The Gospel of Jesus Christ. So,
why does Jesus Christ say, whoever (Believers) loses His (Believers) Life will
gain it (The Believer’s Life)? Well, it
means YOU (Believers) FREELY give up, living for Yourself (Believers), and
start living for God Almighty. It means,
YOU (Believers) start walking God Almighty’s Path (The Path God Almighty
Created just for YOU), instead of walking Your (Believers) Own Path, and living
Your (Believers) Life, the way YOU (Believers) want, instead of The Way God
Almighty wants YOU (Believers) to live it.
