Jesus the Good Shepherd

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.  
9 aI am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.  
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 a“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.  
12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and aleaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.

John 10:9

by me if any man enter in—whether shepherd or sheep.

shall be saved—the great object of the pastoral office, as of all the divine arrangements towards mankind.

and shall go in and out and find pasture—in, as to a place of safety and repose; out, as to "green pastures and still waters" (Psalms 23:2) for nourishment and refreshing, and all this only transferred to another clime, and enjoyed in another manner, at the close of this earthly scene (Revelation 7:17).



John 10:7-14

I am the door of the sheep—that is, the way in to the fold, with all blessed privileges, both for shepherds and sheep (compare John 14:6; Ephesians 2:18).
