John 10 Jesus, the Good Shepherd

I apologize for missing my post for the last two days. I'll try to do better.

 
 

In the beginning John 10, Jesus talks about being the Good Shepherd. There are many false shepherds who climb over the wall into the sheep fold and try to get the sheep to follow him. But, only the True Shepherd enters by the door. The sheep (us) follow Him and He provides for them. There are many thieves and robbers that would like to steal the sheep out of the fold. We must be very careful not to listen to them, lest we be deceived. Sometimes they can be very convincing. Sometimes, what they say is mostly true. Sometimes, they may be famous evangelists. Sometimes, many people follow them, but if there words do not agree with the Bible in every way, we must disregard them and look to Jesus for the Truth. The True Shepherd also laid down His life to save us. Any false shepherd is not willing to do that . When he sees danger coming, he runs to save his own life. Some false shepherds even lead their flock straight into the mouth of danger.

 
 

Let's be sure that we are only listening to the True Shepherd and the shepherds who follow Him completely. If anyone tries to discredit any part of the Bible in any way, we should not follow them. We WILL be mislead. Let's keep our focus on Jesus and listen to what He has to say to us.
