(John 10:1) Truly, truly, 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.
(John 10:2) But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
(John 10:3) To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
(John 10:4) And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
(John 10:5) Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
(John 10:6) Jesus spoke this parable, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
(John 10:7) Then Jesus said to them again, Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
(John 10:8) All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
(John 10:9) I am the door. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
(John 10:10) 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.
(John 10:11) I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
(John 10:12) But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them.
(John 10:13) The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
(John 10:14) I am the Good Shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
(John 10:15) As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
(John 10:16) And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must lead, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one Shepherd.
(John 10:17) Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
(John 10:18) No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This precept I have received from My Father.
(John 10:19) Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these words.
(John 10:20) And many of them said, He has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?
(John 10:21) Others said, These are not the words of one who has a demon. A demon is not able to open the eyes of the blind.
(John 10:22) Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
(John 10:23) And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
(John 10:24) Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.
(John 10:25) Jesus answered them, I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness concerning Me.
(John 10:26) But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
(John 10:27) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
(John 10:28) And I give them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
(John 10:29) My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one has the power to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
(John 10:30) I and the Father are One.
Remember regardless how you go through now, He loves you to the end…
(John 13:1) Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
(Mark 14:22) And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, Take, eat; this is My body.
(Mark 14:23) And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
(Mark 14:24) And He said to them, This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is poured out for many.
(Mark 14:25) Truly, I say to you, I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
What a LORD! What a Father! Right at this moment-He is thinking of you…
(Hebrews 7:22) by so much Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.
(Hebrews 7:23) Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.
(Hebrews 7:24) But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
(Hebrews 7:25) Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them.
(2 Timothy 1:8) Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but partake in the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God,
(2 Timothy 1:9) who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,
(2 Timothy 1:10) but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel,
(2 Timothy 1:11) to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
(2 Timothy 1:12) For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep safe what I have committed to Him until that Day.
(2 Timothy 1:13) Hold fast the form of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
Follow Jesus...
