Jesus tthe good Shepherd, who knows His sheep

John 10:1-19 Verily, verily, I say unto 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. But he who enters by the door is the  Shepherd of the sheep. To him the door keeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them;  and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice, the sheep would not follow a stranger, they would run away, because they do not recognize the voice of stranger. Jesus used this illustration but the people did not understand, because He spoke to them in parable. Then Jesus said to them, I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Jesus said, I AM the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.  As the Father knows ME, [Jesus said], even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And Other sheep I have which is not of this fold; them I must bring, and they will hear my voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. Therefore my Father loves ME, Because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down and power to take it again.This command I have received of my Father. Then there was division among the people because of what Jesus said, [Jesus the great Shepherd of the sheep, knows all that are His, and go before them and guards them. The sheep of Christ will observe their Shepherd, and be cautious of those who will try to draw them away from the fold, and isolate the believers. and make them useless to the work. God is watching, and will not hold His anger forever.

John 10:24-29, How long do you keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." Jesus answered, I told you and you did not believe. The works that I do in My Father's Name they bear witness of Me. But you did not believe, because you are not My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man snatch them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them to Me is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of my father's hand. I and My Father are One. [ Those who hear and believe Christ words followed Him, and none of them should perish. Christ will always make away for His Children; When we know Christ by faith, we can read His word, and believed that He is who He said He is. Jesus the Son of God, the Shepherd of the Sheep. The faithful Shepherd, The great Shepherd of the sheep; The true Shepherd, The Light of the world.  Savor of mankind.
