THE GOOD SHEPHERD. (John 10:1-21)
He that entereth not by the door—the legitimate way (without saying what that was, as yet).

climbeth up some other way—not referring to the assumption of ecclesiastical office without an external call, for those Jewish rulers, specially aimed at, had this (Matthew 23:2), but to the want of a true spiritual commission, the seal of heaven going along with the outward authority; it is the assumption of the spiritual guidance of the people without this that is meant.
