Listen up! This is John Chapter 10. I want ya'll to know that Jesus is the good shepherd. He's the one who knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. A stranger they will not follow. That's because they don't recognize the voice of strangers. Jesus' sheep follow Him because they know His voice. He gives them eternal life and they will never perish - no one can snatch them out of His hand. His Father, who gave them to Him, is greater than all; and no one can snatch them out of His Father's hand. I said no one!
Jesus came to give them life and to give it to them abundantly. I want ya'll to know that Jesus is the door to the sheepfold. If anyone enters through Him, they will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
But you don't have to take my word for it, Jesus Himself said it. He said I am the door, if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He's the Good Shepherd, who lays down His life for His sheep.
So what does this mean? It means that He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. He gives them eternal life and no one can snatch them out of His hand. If anyone enters through Him, they will be saved. That's the bottom line, recruits!
