It's good to be here with all of you today, we just have a
wonderful crowd and we are so thankful that you are here that
you have chosen to be with us. If you're visiting, we say,
welcome. And please come back every
opportunity that you have an occasion or we have an occasion
to meet. I'm enjoying the series that I
have started on the I am statements of Jesus as found in
The Gospel according to John and so far.
In this series, we've talked on when Jesus said I am the bread
of life and we've also talked on when Jesus said I am the light
of the world now, I did those in reverse order.
The first one was bread of life. The second one was light of the
world, but I taught him a lot of the world first, but this one is
the next in its succession. This is the third one when has
said so long ago, he said I am the door as an introductory text
in John chapter 10. Beginning at the beginning in
verse 7, John 10, beginning in verse 7, Then Jesus said to
them. Again, most assuredly, I say to
you, I am the door of the sheep. All who will ever come before me
are thieves and robbers, but the Sheep did not hear them.
I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will
be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.
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 just a few
things to kind of set up the study set up this great sermon
Jesus preached so long ago it is on the heels of what happened in
chapter 9. Now I know that we have a
chapter break where we have end of chapter 9 and then we have a
big number 10. They're starting the next
chapter and that was obviously done by the translators.
But really there's no chapter Break by way of context, it
flows right into the very next. Let me show you what I mean in
chapter 9. You remember that story and I
don't have time to go very deep into it.
Just to set our minds on the setting, and on the scene Jesus
with his disciples were passing by, and they saw a beggar, a man
that was born blind. And you remember the disciples
said to Jesus, tell us master who did Sin, did this man
sinned, or did his parents in that?
He was born blind, and Jesus would say this, it's neither his
parents fault nor his fault, it's nobody's fault.
Alt. But obviously, as I paraphrase
in the end, you're going to see the glory of God.
Jesus heals the man, the man can now.
See. And then, here come the
Pharisees and the Pharisees were infuriated, because Jesus
performed this miracle on the Sabbath day, and they can just
imagine in their mind, they can't fathom a scenario that
somebody can be from God and not recognize the Sabbath.
The Pharisees came and questioned this man.
And this man said that he was healed by Jesus.
The Pharisees went to this man's parents and they asked the
parents. Is this your son?
Was he born blind? And how is it now that he can
see? The Bible says that the parents
responded like this? Yes, he's our son.
Yes, he was born blind. But as to the reason he could
now see, why don't you ask him? He's of age.
And then it says, and this, they said, for fear of the Jews, you
remember, those religious leaders had already said at.
Anybody is going to profess that.
Jesus is the Christ. They would be cast out of the
synagogue. And that's exactly what happened
to this, man. He is cast out, you know, what
else happens, great bitterness and great disdain is now the
fury in their hearts at the Lord and they want to kill him.
So chapter 10. What are we talking about?
It's the same day. It's the same scene it's the
same people. Jesus is responding to the same
event. Now, the leaders of Israel are
the false Shepherds that Jesus talks about in chapter 10, as we
begin. But standing there, you got the
same disciples, you got the Pharisees, you got the blind
beggar, and you got the rest of the Jews, and Jesus makes a
great contrast between them and himself down in verse 11.
When he said, I am the Good Shepherd.
Who lays down his life for his sheep leaders of Israel, they
were the thieves and they were the robbers.
So the picture every Shepherd is really just a word picture.
Jesus does not refer to himself to verse 11 as the Good
Shepherd, but it was very fitting for the occasion because
it would have been very familiar with those in Jerusalem and
Judea You know, there's something else that they knew,
they knew all about Shepherds and their flocks.
You know what else they knew? They had enough knowledge of the
Old Testament to remember. And realize at the greatest
Shepherd Of All, Is God that God is referred to in the Old
Testament as a shepherd. And what does a Shepherd?
Do a Shepherd cares for his flock and that's what God does
for us when we are his beautiful picture but let's just look at
it from a physical standpoint. Now, I did a little research
about this. I knew a little bit of this Not
really to the extent because I got to tell you what.
I think about sheep grazing out in the field, I think of just
what I just said you can go through agricultural land and
agricultural country and you can look out and you could see sheep
and their Grazing In This plentiful plush great land
right? See cattle out there to do the
same thing, that's not what they did back then the plush and
plentiful lands were farming. So grazing land was quite
different. In fact, there was rough and
Rocky Terrain. And early in the morning, the
shepherd would come and he would take the Sheep out of the fold.
I'm gonna get more back to the fold.
You just a moment, take the Sheep out from the fold and they
would go out and they would Grace, it was rough and Rocky
terrain and it was very dangerous and when I read some
things about this sheep, ran the risk of being injured all the
time. They also ran the risk of
wandering off, no doubt when Jesus talked about that,
Parable. When he talked about the lost
sheep, it was in reference to what they would have understood.
You know why? Because when you turn them
loose, you got the shepherd overseeing at all.
But when you turn them loose, you might get one that is just
wandering off. And the reason for that is the
grass was very sparse. It wasn't all in one area.
So a sheep would have to wander off over here and find some more
grass to eat. The shepherd had to be on his
toes. It was a very arduous detail.
It was difficult, it was tiring. It was exhausting for the
shepherd. He had to protect him too.
Maybe they would have a leg that got wedged between two rocks and
couldn't get out the shepherd, had to be ready to go and
dislodge that the shepherd had to also protect against wild
animals, that would come and destroy the Sheep.
He also had to protect about some of those thieves and
robbers. They would go out there and they
would steal the Sheep so they can have the meat and they can
have the wool. It was an all-day affair.
And according to Scholars, it was exhausting, one historical
writer wrote. This, I think this is, this is
very telling He said that night, you meet the shepherd, and he's
coming back to the fold Sleepless, he's weather-beaten,
and he's leaning on his staff. That's the picture of how it was
for a Shepherd. You know, there were shepherds
in the Old Testament that we can read about.
We can read about Abraham, we can read about Isaac, we could
read about Jacob, we can read about Moses, who tended the
flocks in Midian for his father-in-law.
How about David? David was a Shepherd boy.
Boy, he also was one of those. But in all that being said, they
all bore the characteristics of a good shepherd and here they
are constant. Vigilance Fearless courage and
patient love for his flock. Now Jesus later on is going to
talk about himself being the Good Shepherd.
You know what? Jesus is to Jesus Bears, the
characteristics of a Good Shepherd.
The best shepherd with his constant, vigilance, his
Fearless courage that he showed and patient love for his flock.
The most well-known Shepherd in the Old Testament obviously is
God in the psalmist. David said, a made it very
personal in that 23rd, psalm not quote, the whole passage, but in
the twenty-third Psalm David said, the Lord is my shepherd
and I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in
Green Pastures, he leadeth me beside the Still Waters, he
restores my soul, At the end of that Psalm, he said, surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I
will dwell in the house of the Lord forever when you think
about the Lord, and you are his that's personal.
The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want much more on that
later on. So, with that little bit of
background, let's look at the story now.
And really, I got to tell you at the very beginning, it just
looks like a little story. That is not very deep and that
is wrong. Just like all the other teaching
of Jesus, some of the deepest things ever, preached were done
by our Lord and presented in a very simple way.
This passage is so deep in theology, it is so deep in
meaning, let's try to dig some of those things out.
Let's begin with verse 1 of John chapter 10.
Most assuredly. I say to 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.
All right. What is the Sheepfold with the
Sheepfold in the village? I'm told that's what a fold is
in the village. You would have a Sheepfold
simply a pain, that pain would be the place where he, where the
Sheep would sleep. The shepherd would bring.
The Sheep at night to be safe. That was in a Sheepfold.
They go out all day grazing. There's a lot of history behind
this. And when they came in, they were
put in a pin. For the night.
You know what, I read that in villages they had a number of
shepherds. All kinds of shepherds a large
number of Shepherds and every one of the shepherd's had their
own sheep. You know, what's interesting?
They would bring them at night and put them in one fold.
They would be in this one pin. They would come and take all of
those sheep, they all be put together.
One at a time, the shepherd would take his rod and he would
place it at the entrance of that Sheepfold.
So it would keep the sheep from going in.
It would all be examined one of the time.
The shepherd would examine the Sheep top to bottom front to
back, maybe that sheep being outside, he didn't recognize it
before, maybe he got a cut, he would take oil, which was for
medicinal and soothing properties.
And he would put it on those wounds.
He would care for the Sheep. When the Sheep was okay,
completely taken care of. He would want like the Old
Testament, speaking of God and Ezekiel.
He would lift his rod and let the sheep in.
He would drop it back down again for the next sheet.
That would come. He would examine that sheep.
Top to bottom front to back dr. The Sheep if necessary, then he
would lift his rod and let the Sheep go in one of the time and
every Shepherd did that with every one of his sheep.
Simple and closure. Surrounded by a wall.
And if night would come, if anybody is going to get in, they
had to jump the wall. Because they hired a porter.
That was a guy, by the way, in verse 3, it talks about him as
being a doorkeeper. That's a Hired Hand.
We find out he's referred to a Hired Hand.
I think it's verse 12, he's talking about a Hired Hand later
on, right? But that's the porter, that's
the doorkeeper. And his job would be to keep
everybody out over the nighttime and guard the sheep.
That was his job. Now, Shepherds the next day
would reappear. And I love this.
The Bible says that they go out and they call them by name and
they lead them back to the pasture now.
If you go to verse 1 again this is a very Vivid picture.
Most assuredly, I say to you he who does not enter the Sheepfold
by the door, but climbs up some other way the same as a thief
and a robber. Now, what is this?
I tell, you got to be careful about commentaries because some
commentators think this is talking about the church.
No, it's not. Jesus, as the Good Shepherd does
not lead people out of the church.
He leads people to the church. Also, if this was talking about
the church, it says thieves and robbers.
They can't get in the door, but they can get in if they jump the
wall. No, you can't do that.
You can't come in any other way, other than what Jesus has
outlined to come into the church.
So it can't be the church. So what is it?
Some people say. It's Heaven.
That doesn't make sense either, because Jesus doesn't lead
people away from Heaven. Jesus leads people to heaven.
So what is it? What's this Sheepfold?
In this case, the Sheepfold stay with me, please is Judaism and I
believe specifically, those who were baptized by John the
Baptist and that would make John the Baptist, the doorkeeper or
the porter. Now, we're going to use the word
fold again, that will refer to the church later on.
We're going to refer to different things, but right now,
what are we talking about? Jesus came to do what lead his
sheep out of the Sheepfold. That's the Sheepfold obviously
of Israel or Judaism, and John the Baptist.
You remember, he was the Forerunner.
He was the one that said, the one that comes after me is
mightier than I am. He's the one that said, Behold
the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, Jesus went
after John the Baptist. So in this Corral or pin or
Sheepfold you find those in Judaism.
What did Jesus come to do? Lead people out of Judaism.
You know, when John the Baptist baptized people, it was for the
baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins, that would
have been for the remission of sins.
If that person died before, Jesus died on the cross and shed
his blood, it would have been remission of sins for that
person to. So you think about it this way?
Well, we're talking about those in Judaism.
Is it talking about those that were baptized by John?
We know the gospel went for Everywhere.
We know that people everywhere were baptized by the baptism of
John, he was the Forerunner preparing them and preparing the
way for Jesus Christ, his cousin that was six months younger than
he was, but he was the Lord. Now notice this, there's
something else. So, the first fold that we're
talking about, obviously is Judaism, but there's got to be
another one too, because if we drop down to verse 16 and other
sheep have, Which I have which are not of this fold.
Who's that? There's only one Shepherd.
What's the other fold? I think the other fold has to be
this. It's the Gentiles, it's Nations.
It's the countries of the world. You see the picture?
The Good Shepherd came to lead, sheep out of the bondage of
Judaism and the bondage of Sin from Judaism to Gentiles out of
the world. Jesus comes to lead them.
All right, so what's the fold? The full Dan is, whatever holds
temporarily, the sheep that belong to God, Judaism
specifically, baptized by John, I think in the context here, or
the world now, I have to make this point of clarification.
People that believe in predestination.
And what I mean by that is that God has predetermined.
Who's going to be saved? Often times use this idea and
use this concept to say you see God already chose them.
So they are in the fold. God already chose them and then
they come later on but they were chosen to be saved by God.
Originally that's not what this means.
It holds temporarily whatever you are Jew or Gentile your held
in that. Fold and those that are gods,
are those that will obey God. And by obedience, to God, and
obedience to the gospel, you are LED in the paths of
righteousness. Following the shepherd, that's
all that means. All right. so what we, what
we've noticed is, we noticed about the shepherd and we've
noticed about the Sheepfold, what about What about the
Christian age? In the Christian age.
There's going to be one fold, and that's the church.
There's one Shepherd and that's Jesus and whether you're a Jew
or a gentile, you'll be in that one fold in that one Church.
Remember, he calls people out of Judaism and out of the world and
brings them into the fold of permanence and that's the
kingdom, that's the church. Okay?
So what about this? What about this phraseology?
John chapter 10 and verse two, he who enters by the door, is
The Shepherd of the sheep. What's the door now later on?
Jesus is going to call himself the door, but in this passage
says this, he who enters by the door, is The Shepherd of the
sheep. What's it speaking about?
In this particular verse, it's talking about privilege, right
Authority and ownership, nobody has the authority, but Jesus.
Now, let's look at the Shepherds sheep relationship, right?
You got the doorkeeper there, the doorkeepers.
Not letting anybody and accept the shepherd.
There's only one way to get to the Sheep by the shepherd.
And that's in the door. That's his ownership, his
authority, his right, and his privilege, because he is the
Messiah, he is the Lord, he is the Good Shepherd, and the only
one that brings eternal life. Now.
Who are the thieves and robbers, who climb up another way?
The thieves and the robbers, are any false Shepherds.
But in context, here in this case, it's the Pharisees and the
scribes, but it's any false Shepherds and John chapter 10
and verse 3. To him, the doorkeeper opens,
and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his Sheep by name,
then in verse four, leads them out.
And when he brings them out of his own sheep, He goes before
them and the Sheep follow him for, they know his voice.
I read something. Now those of you that know me
really well, especially my family have teased me of how
I've named my animals. We named a If a dog, you name
the dog, he speak the dog's name.
I'm ready. What do you mean?
I even named my fish. Yeah Nemo.
But I've been teased in my lifetime because of the way that
I have named my horses and my dogs.
For example, when I was younger, I had a Queensland healer, a ROM
colored Queensland, you know, it, you know, his name was Roni.
I had a dun-colored. Horse know his name was Donny.
I had a black calf roping horse and I was in college, know his
name was Blackie. I've got a paint horse now,
paint color doors. You know, his name is, his name
is paint. Do you know that these Shepherds
did that very same thing? They would look to have Mark of
Distinction, Mark that distinguish them from somebody
else and they would come up with a name and they would name the
Sheep. When the shepherd comes to call
the Sheep out of the Sheepfold and bring them back out in the
pasture, you know what he does? He comes in.
He's the only one with that kind of authority.
The gatekeeper lets him in, he goes in and he starts calling
their names. Two things.
They know their name. And they know his voice.
They know his voice because they've heard his voice.
And they come to the shepherd and he leads him back out for
another day. Grazing, all day long.
The shepherd knows the sheep, and the Sheep know the shepherd.
Notice verse 5 yet, they will by no means follow a stranger, but
he will flee from him for. They do not know the voice of
strangers. This is so important.
This is really important. They don't know the voice of the
stranger. Now, I hope you understand the
spiritual application of all of this.
We're not really talking about physical Shepherds and we're not
really talking about animals. Are we?
But it's a picture, it's a sermon.
The Lord is preaching, he's giving a tremendous illustration
here. The shepherd calls the sheep and
calls them by name. And the Sheep come because they
know the boys and they know their name, there's a
relationship there. You know what?
They don't listen to. They don't hear the voice of the
stranger, who's that? What's the voice?
What's the voice of the Shepherd?
By the way, representative of its referring to distinctive
quality of Jesus's teaching. It's listening to the Lord, It's
following the word of God today, that's the voice.
The voice of strangers are these, and this is very
prominent in today's society, really is philosophies Theories
and speculation. You know what happens today?
What happens today? Is people our kids, our
children. And in the institutions of
learning, they hear things like philosophy, theories and
speculation, do you know what that is?
With referring to the universe and referring to God and
referring to our existence and all of that?
You know, that's called that's called a stranger.
A stranger bringing in philosophy, theories and all of
that stuff. And by the way you can't even
say it's science. My dad used to say this that
scientists catching up to the Bible, catching up to God.
Because I'll tell you right now, if it violates, if science
violates God, it's not science. God invented all the signs, too.
The Stranger is somebody that comes in with a philosophy or
theory that causes people to doubt.
To doubt their faith. That's why we have to be rooted
and grounded in the teachings of Jesus in following the word of
God, because that's the voice, that's the voice of the
shepherd. That's the one that we know, we
know that voice. And when you hear, by the way,
the strangers voice that brings in things that violate the word
of God. We reject it, we got a rejected.
Now. Also, I think there's something
important point out, too. People that are false teachers,
even religiously fall into this category too.
And I like what one scholar said, he said, people that are
loyal to the false teacher. Do not know the ship. if people
are loyal to the false teaching, you don't know my shepherd.
We know the shepherd as we hear his voice, if you stopped
listening, listening to his voice, where's the mark of
Distinction? That's why we can never ever
ever stop listening to the voice of Jesus in John, chapter 10 and
verse 6 Jesus used this illustration but they did not
understand the things, which he spoke to them.
And again, one of those things, Jesus says something, he
preaches the perfect sermon, it's the perfect setting.
He knows the topic, he's going to cover the whole nine yards.
He uses illustrations that they'll understand.
Oh by the way, all they didn't get it.
They didn't understand they did not understand now.
What do we know so far before we progress and the last part of
our lesson is the shortest part but it's the conclusion and
we're going to get to what Jesus meant when he said, I am the
door. What are we known so far?
We know there's a Shepherd, we know there are sheep.
We know that all the shape of all the shepherds are in one
Sheepfold. We know that the shepherd comes
and calls, not somebody else's sheep calls his own sheep, the
folds that we Come out of, from a spiritual perspective, are the
folds of Judaism and the folds of the world.
And Jesus leads us out. We also learned this that Jesus
says he who enters by the door and that means this so far.
That means by his authority, he has the authority.
He has the right. He owns the Sheep.
I got to throw something in here.
Do you know? According to Romans you are
owned by something. I know that sometimes in life,
especially when were younger, we don't want to be owned, we don't
want to be told what to do. And by the way, our society
really bows their neck at being told what to do.
And I get that fine, whatever. I'm not even address, I'm not
addressing that. I'm addressing this, though.
The Lord owns you if you're a Christian.
You've been bought by the inestimable price of the blood
of Jesus. He owns your life for the rest
of your life, you submit to Jesus for the rest of your life.
Why he has the authority, he died for our sins, he shed his
blood, the nail prints are in his hands.
Like my dad used to say, son, Jesus has all the votes, he's
got it all. Alright.
Now what now? Jesus is going to say this.
Now, he's going to say this. Jesus said to them.
Again, now up until verse 6, they had no clue what he was
talking about. Well, he sent them again.
Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
All who ever come before me are thieves and robbers, but the
Sheep did not hear them. Hold it right there.
He's not only the shepherd. He's also the door.
He's not just a shepherd. He's the door.
Doors lead somewhere. What else?
Dear stop to consider that we have freedom to.
The Bible talks about worried the slave of sin or we are the
slave of Jesus Christ, okay. But have you ever stopped to
consider what we are free from? Being a Christian is about
freedom. Not freedom to do.
Whatever you want to do. I didn't say that, but it is
about freedom. He leads people out from the
freedom of bondage. Freedom of bondage.
That includes the bondage of the Old Law and that includes the
bondage of sin. I'm so thankful when I became a
Christian that I was free from the bondage of sin.
It feels wonderful when you obey the gospel.
Do you know why? Because your sins are washed
away. No longer.
Are you the slave of sin? No longer.
Are you under bondage, the bondage of sin?
If a person came back in those days, from the law of Moses,
they're no longer under the bondage of the Old Law in Jesus
Christ. All right.
Now in the next, the next phrase of his first notice, he said, I
am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will
be saved and he will go in and out and find pasture where an
amazing statement in John. 14 and 6, Jesus said, I am the way,
the truth, and the life. No one comes into the father,
except through me. What we have here is we've gone
from a metaphor to fact. We've gone from a metaphor.
We've gone from a scenario. We've gone from an illustration
to fact and here it comes. Jesus says, I am the door.
It's me. And if anybody enters through
me, he's going to be saved and will go in and out and find
Pasture metaphor to reality, you will be saved.
What about this last phrase here?
What about this last phrase? And we'll go in and out and find
pasture, you know, this is the saving Shepherd.
We have the beauties of being saved.
But according to what Jesus says here, we also have something
else. We have the freedom to go in and
out and find pasture. So, what is the spiritual
application? This is what ATMs are said in
its application. It simply means if a man accepts
Jesus as his Shepherd by obedience to the gospel, and
fulfilling the terms that the Lord has given us.
When you do that, he will be saved from the Wolves of sin.
And also will be abundantly supplied with spiritual pasture
or food. In other words, I love this.
We got nothing to fear in a literal sense.
The Sheep had nothing to fear because the shepherd kept the
Wolves Away. What about this?
What about from a spiritual perspective?
Sometimes, we're going to have a hard life, sometimes.
We're going to have difficult things.
Sometimes that is all true, but we are going to have spiritual
pasture and spiritual food. We've got nothing to lose.
We've got nothing to fear, if we follow the lord, now let me hang
a little meat on that that statement will have no fear
here. It is in Romans chapter 8
beginning in verse 35, who shall separate us from the love of
Christ, shall tribulation or distress or persecution.
Duchenne or famine or nakedness or Peril or sword as it is
written for your sake. We are killed all day long.
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter in and all these
things we are more than conquerors through him.
Who loved us for? I am persuaded, I love this.
That neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities
nor powers nor things present, nor things to come nor height
nor depth nor any other created thing.
Shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is
in Christ Jesus our lord. So summing up.
The Lord is the shepherd. And the shepherd is the door.
God, feeds us and God sustains us with Green Pastures through
our whole spiritual life. What is that?
That's the word of God. That's the word of God. you
remember Jeremiah said, Jeremiah said said when when your word
King. I ate them.
Another translation says, Thy Word was found and that became
my food. That is the spiritual food that
we need. We've been given all things that
pertain to life and godliness so where does his voice come to us?
His voice comes to us in his word, through the word, as the
spirit gives life to the word. We follow the scripture.
We must love the word. We say, like David said, oh, how
I love your law, It is our Delight.
Find the one final passage. That's verse 10.
The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to
destroy. I've come that they may have
life and that they may have it more.
Abundantly, here's the comparison.
Jesus draws a conclusion. And what he's saying is this,
he's saying the religious hierarchy of hardened Israel,
you know what, they were? They were the murderous Thief
intent on killing and destroying.
But Jesus Christ is the true Shepherd who came to bring
Abundant Life. To the people of God.
It saddens me when I see people that think that to be a
Christian, you have to live. A life that has no joy, I don't
get that I. Once heard a man. say if you're
not a little bit miserable, you are not living the Christian
Life as you should. Wow, because even if you have a
hard time that there's nothing is has be miserable, you know,
it says have joy. It says Rejoice, the Apostle
Paul was under house, arrest awaiting, his execution and his
famed throughout Philippians is rejoice.
And why is that? I'm going to leave you with the
words of Burton Kaufman. This is what he said about this.
The Christian Life is the happy life free abundant and
overflowing adventurous and exciting Beyond any other kind
of existence why can't men believe their creator to the
effect that the way of Christ is the way of joy and fulfillment.
I'm going to tell you what it's the greatest life in the world.
It's the greatest life ever. And by the way, if you're
literally living the Christian life and you're behaving as you
should at your job and school or wherever your friends, if you're
doing it as a Christian, the way that you should, you're going to
