I, JESUS, AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD

John 10: 2-4, 6, 9, 10b-11, 14-18, 27-30

Jesus Said TO Them, “BUT, HE (Jesus) WHO ENTERS, BY THE DOOR (THROUGH The Holy Spirit), IS THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP (Believers)!”

“TO HIM (Jesus), THE DOORKEEPER OPENS (THAT IS, GOD Almighty Opens), AND THE SHEEP (Believers) HEAR HIS VOICE (Jesus’ Voice); AND HE (Jesus) CALLS HIS OWN SHEEP, BY NAME, AND LEADS THEM (Believers) OUT!”

“AND WHEN HE (Jesus) BRINGS OUT, HIS OWN SHEEP (THROUGH The Being Caught Up Together), HE (Jesus) GOES BEFORE THEM (INTO Heaven); AND THE SHEEP (Believers) FOLLOW HIM (INTO Heaven), FOR THEY (Believers) KNOW HIS VOICE (Jesus’ Voice)!”

Jesus Used THIS Illustration; BUT They Did NOT Understand THE THINGS, Which HE (Jesus) SPOKE TO Them!

THEN, Jesus Said TO Them, Again, “I (Jesus) AM THE DOOR (NO One Comes TO The Father, GOD Almighty, Except THROUGH Me)!”

“IF ANYONE (Believers) ENTERS, BY ME (THROUGH Jesus Christ), HE (Believers) WILL BE SAVED (FROM The Lake OF Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION), AND WILL GO IN (THAT IS, INTO Heaven), AND OUT (THAT IS, Out OF Heaven), AND FIND PASTURE (EVERLASTING LIFE, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!”

“I (Jesus) HAVE COME, THAT THEY (Believers) MAY HAVE LIFE (Everlasting Life), AND THAT THEY (Believers) MAY HAVE IT (Everlasting Life), More Abundantly!”

“I (Jesus) AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD! THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVES HIS LIFE, FOR THE SHEEP (Jesus’ Crucifixion AND Subsequent Resurrection)!”

“I (Jesus) AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD; AND I (Jesus) KNOW MY SHEEP (Believers), AND AM KNOWN, BY MY OWN (Believers)!”

“AS THE FATHER (GOD Almighty) KNOWS ME (Jesus), EVEN SO, I (Jesus) KNOW THE FATHER (GOD Almighty); AND I (Jesus) LAY DOWN MY LIFE, FOR THE SHEEP (Jesus’ Crucifixion AND Subsequent Resurrection)!”

“AND OTHER SHEEP (Non-Jewish Believers), I (Jesus) HAVE, WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD (Jewish Believers); THEM (Non-Jewish Believers) ALSO, I (Jesus) MUST BRING, AND THEY (Non-Jewish Believers) WILL HEAR MY VOICE (Jesus’ Voice); AND THERE WILL BE ONE FLOCK (Jewish Believers AND Non-Jewish Believers) AND ONE SHEPHERD (Jesus Christ)!”

“THEREFORE, MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) LOVES ME (Jesus); BECAUSE I (Jesus) LAY DOWN MY LIFE (Jesus’ Crucifixion), THAT I (Jesus) MAY TAKE IT, AGAIN (Jesus’ Resurrection)! NO ONE (NOT Even Satan) TAKES IT FROM ME (Jesus); BUT, I (Jesus) LAY IT DOWN OF MYSELF (Willingly)! I (Jesus) HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN (Jesus’ Crucifixion), AND I (Jesus) HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT, AGAIN (Jesus’ Resurrection)! THIS COMMAND, I (Jesus) HAVE RECEIVED FROM MY FATHER (GOD Almighty)!”

“MY SHEEP (Jewish Believers AND Non-Jewish Believers) HEAR MY VOICE (Jesus’ Voice), AND I (Jesus) KNOW THEM (Believers), AND THEY FOLLOW ME (Jesus)! AND I (Jesus) GIVE THEM (Believers) ETERNAL LIFE (EVERLASTING LIFE, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest OF The Children OF GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), AND THEY (Believers) SHALL NEVER PERISH (IN The Lake OF Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); NEITHER SHALL ANYONE (NOT Even Satan), SNATCH THEM (Believers), OUT OF MY HAND (Jesus’ Hand)!”

“MY FATHER (GOD Almighty), WHO HAS GIVEN THEM (Believers), TO ME (Jesus), IS GREATER THAN ALL; AND NO ONE (NOT Even Satan) IS ABLE TO SNATCH THEM (Believers), OUT OF MY FATHER’s HAND (GOD Almighty’s Hand)! I (Jesus) AND MY FATHER (GOD Almighty) ARE ONE!”
