00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.060
 Would you mind turning in your Bible to John chapter 10.

00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:08.960
 It's on page 1065 of your pew Bible.

00:00:09.580 --> 00:00:13.040
! And we've been out of the Gospel of John for a couple weeks,

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:15.980
 and now we're back into the Gospel of John.

00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.039
 The series we've titled Behold, Believe, and Live.

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:24.640
 Behold Jesus, Believe in Jesus, and Live for Jesus.

00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:27.219
 As you're turning there,

00:00:27.219 --> 00:00:34.259
 you know, we live in a time of great mistrust and skepticism

00:00:34.259 --> 00:00:37.739
 regarding leaders in general.

00:00:39.179 --> 00:00:45.019
 Maybe you've lost confidence in the political leaders of our country.

00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.259
 Well, the church is no exception.

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:55.539
 It seems every other month we learn of some Christian leader

00:00:55.539 --> 00:01:01.799
 who has failed or has drifted or has undermined the Gospel,

00:01:02.179 --> 00:01:04.480
 who've compromised themselves.

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.500
 A lot of Christians, even in this room,

00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.039
 have been deeply hurt by compromised shepherds.

00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:16.659
 Throughout the Bible, shepherding is used as a metaphor

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:18.079
 of leading God's people.

00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:20.319
 Shepherd lead people.

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:28.780
 And we shepherds get to lead God's people, His flock.

00:01:29.299 --> 00:01:30.119
 And throughout the Bible,

00:01:31.419 --> 00:01:37.299
 God refers to Himself as a shepherd of His people.

00:01:37.459 --> 00:01:40.199
 I mean, Steve started off this morning,

00:01:40.579 --> 00:01:43.039
 called us to worship in Psalm 23.1,

00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.860
 The Lord is my shepherd.

00:01:47.219 --> 00:01:51.260
 And what we're going to see from Ezekiel 34 this morning

00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:54.040
 is that God is going to claim that title again,

00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.360
 but in the context of a rebuke.

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:01.100
 In the New Testament, Jesus, God incarnate,

00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:05.440
 is described as the great shepherd of the sheep.

00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.240
 It's Hebrews 13.20.

00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:11.740
 He is the chief shepherd, 1 Peter 5.4.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:15.260
 And in our passage this morning, in John 10,

00:02:15.700 --> 00:02:19.280
 Jesus calls Himself the good shepherd.

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:26.740
 So, I want to help us ask and answer this question this morning.

00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:32.280
 What is so good about this good shepherd?

00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:35.120
 What's so good about this good shepherd?

00:02:35.260 --> 00:02:38.860
 And what difference will that make for us today?

00:02:38.860 --> 00:02:42.820
 Throughout the passage we're going to be looking at,

00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:44.820
 verses 1 through 21,

00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:47.740
 there's this running contrast

00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:52.360
 between the failed leaders of Israel,

00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.020
 the Pharisees,

00:02:54.140 --> 00:02:56.140
 and the good shepherd,

00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:57.360
 the leadership of Jesus.

00:02:58.100 --> 00:02:59.700
 And what I want to help you to see this morning

00:02:59.700 --> 00:03:03.260
 are three truths that Jesus claims about His leadership

00:03:03.260 --> 00:03:05.560
 that should make you fully trust Him.

00:03:05.940 --> 00:03:06.660
 And here they are.

00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:07.539
 Truth number one,

00:03:08.180 --> 00:03:10.479
 He is the legit shepherd.

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.099
 Truth number two,

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.699
 He is the purposed shepherd.

00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:16.319
 And truth number three,

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.680
 He is the committed shepherd.

00:03:19.079 --> 00:03:20.819
 So, legit, purposed, committed.

00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:23.500
 And all of these come together

00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.000
 to make Him the good shepherd.

00:03:26.819 --> 00:03:28.159
 And what you're going to see

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.400
 is that His goodness runs red.

00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.680
 So, let's look at this first truth

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.120
 that Jesus speaks of Himself.

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.060
 What we're going to take is kind of piece by piece,

00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:41.560
 make our way through this passage.

00:03:41.900 --> 00:03:45.099
 And now I'm going to read John 10, 1 through 6.

00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:47.180
 Let's look at this first truth

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:48.480
 where Jesus describes Himself

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:51.400
 as the legit shepherd.

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:54.719
 Jesus begins,

00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:56.500
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:03:57.640 --> 00:04:00.520
 He who does not enter the sheepfold by the door,

00:04:00.580 --> 00:04:02.219
 but climbs in by another way,

00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.540
 that man is a thief and a robber.

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:06.759
 But he who enters by the door

00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:07.900
 is the shepherd of the sheep.

00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:10.200
 To him the gatekeeper opens,

00:04:10.300 --> 00:04:11.379
 the sheep hear His voice,

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.020
 and He calls His own sheep by name

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:14.340
 and leads them out.

00:04:14.460 --> 00:04:16.980
 When He has brought out all His own,

00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:18.300
 He goes before them,

00:04:18.300 --> 00:04:19.340
 and the sheep follow Him

00:04:19.340 --> 00:04:20.680
 for they know His voice.

00:04:21.020 --> 00:04:22.540
 A stranger they will not follow,

00:04:22.840 --> 00:04:24.579
 but they will flee from Him

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:26.920
 for they do not know the voice of strangers.

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.939
 This figure of speech Jesus used with them,

00:04:31.340 --> 00:04:33.220
 but they did not understand

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:35.180
 what He was saying to them.

00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:35.980
 Who?

00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:36.900
 Verse 6.

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.100
 Who are these them, they, them?

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.740
 We need to understand

00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:45.139
 who Jesus is speaking to.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:51.020
 In chapter 9, Jesus heals this man born blind.

00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:54.720
 And it climaxes at the end of verse 9

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.300
 where this man who now sees,

00:04:57.420 --> 00:04:59.220
 sees Jesus for the first time,

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:00.759
 and he says,

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.720
 Lord, I believe,

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:02.720
 and he worships Him.

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.920
 But then in verse 39,

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:05.620
 we read,

00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:06.460
 Jesus said,

00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:08.340
 For judgment I came into this world,

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:09.840
 that those who do not see me

00:05:09.840 --> 00:05:11.400
 may see, may see,

00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:13.600
 and those who see may become blind.

00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.500
 Some of the Pharisees near Him

00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:17.340
 heard these things and said to Him,

00:05:17.339 --> 00:05:18.979
 Are we also blind?

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.339
 And Jesus said to them,

00:05:20.379 --> 00:05:21.239
 If you were blind,

00:05:21.419 --> 00:05:22.699
 you would have no guilt,

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.000
 but now that you say,

00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:24.599
 we see,

00:05:24.799 --> 00:05:26.119
 your guilt remains.

00:05:26.159 --> 00:05:27.299
 Now let's just pretend

00:05:27.299 --> 00:05:28.599
 there's no chapter break.

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:32.539
 But now that you see,

00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:33.719
 say we see,

00:05:33.899 --> 00:05:35.000
 your guilt remains.

00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:35.919
 Truly, truly,

00:05:36.039 --> 00:05:36.799
 I say to you,

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:37.879
 do you know who the you is?

00:05:38.919 --> 00:05:40.079
 The Pharisees.

00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.159
 Jesus is speaking these words

00:05:44.159 --> 00:05:46.919
 to the failed religious leaders

00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:48.099
 of Israel.

00:05:48.659 --> 00:05:50.599
 And so what we have before us

00:05:50.599 --> 00:05:52.479
 is a bit of a confrontation

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:54.000
 between Jesus

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:56.199
 and the failed leaders

00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.740
 of Israel.

00:05:57.740 --> 00:05:59.399
 This is a passage about leadership,

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:00.699
 believe it or not.

00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:04.479
 Truly, truly,

00:06:04.599 --> 00:06:05.399
 I say to you,

00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:07.079
 Jesus says,

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:08.299
 we've bumped into this phrase,

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:08.920
 truly, truly,

00:06:09.020 --> 00:06:09.780
 I say to you,

00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.240
 a number of times

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:12.360
 in the Gospel of John,

00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:13.620
 and what Jesus is doing

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:14.400
 is simply setting

00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:15.220
 the record straight.

00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:16.139
 He's like,

00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:16.780
 listen up,

00:06:16.860 --> 00:06:18.620
 let me just lay it clear

00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:19.139
 for you.

00:06:20.620 --> 00:06:21.540
 And He starts

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:22.680
 by painting a picture

00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.759
 of a sheepfold.

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:26.560
 He says,

00:06:26.660 --> 00:06:27.480
 He who does not enter

00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:28.139
 the sheepfold,

00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:29.300
 what is a sheepfold?

00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.780
 A sheepfold is like

00:06:31.779 --> 00:06:32.679
 a sheep pen,

00:06:33.059 --> 00:06:34.139
 a sheep corral.

00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.239
 It's basically

00:06:36.239 --> 00:06:39.259
 a kind of

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:41.339
 a walled-in enclosure,

00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:42.819
 a fenced-in enclosure

00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:45.019
 to bring sheep in

00:06:45.019 --> 00:06:45.859
 during the night

00:06:45.859 --> 00:06:46.799
 to keep them safe.

00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:48.019
 And the enclosure,

00:06:48.239 --> 00:06:49.319
 sometimes sides

00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:50.579
 of buildings were used,

00:06:50.799 --> 00:06:52.219
 other times they'd weave

00:06:52.219 --> 00:06:54.619
 like sticks and branches

00:06:54.619 --> 00:06:55.479
 and they'd bring them

00:06:55.479 --> 00:06:56.079
 really high

00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.379
 so that nobody could get in

00:06:58.379 --> 00:06:59.599
 and the sheep couldn't get out.

00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.200
 And it only had one door.

00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:07.200
 Only one way in

00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:08.060
 and one way out.

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:11.140
 And it's here

00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:12.620
 that He begins the contrast.

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:14.760
 Look what He says.

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:16.740
 He who does not enter

00:07:16.740 --> 00:07:18.020
 the sheepfold by the door

00:07:18.020 --> 00:07:19.080
 but climbs in

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:19.860
 by another way,

00:07:19.960 --> 00:07:20.720
 that man is a thief

00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:21.120
 and a robber.

00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:22.100
 Who is He talking to?

00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:23.800
 The Pharisees.

00:07:24.939 --> 00:07:25.560
 Do you know what He's

00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:26.660
 saying to them?

00:07:28.379 --> 00:07:29.300
 You're trying to come

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:30.500
 into the sheep pen

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:31.620
 kind of like

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:33.139
 in an illegitimate way,

00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:34.160
 thief and robber.

00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:37.420
 What He's contrasting

00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:40.060
 is illegitimate leaders.

00:07:42.580 --> 00:07:43.699
 And so He begins

00:07:43.699 --> 00:07:44.860
 this contrast.

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:47.660
 Illegitimate people

00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:49.100
 trying to access

00:07:49.100 --> 00:07:49.920
 the sheep

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.060
 and they've got

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:52.540
 ill intent.

00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.120
 They're thieves and robbers.

00:07:56.420 --> 00:07:57.840
 They don't go through the gate.

00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.500
 But in verse 2,

00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:01.000
 the legitimate shepherd

00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:02.679
 is known.

00:08:03.099 --> 00:08:03.839
 He's recognized.

00:08:04.599 --> 00:08:05.319
 He's trusted.

00:08:06.579 --> 00:08:07.519
 But he who enters

00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:08.039
 by the door

00:08:08.039 --> 00:08:08.599
 is the shepherd

00:08:08.599 --> 00:08:09.139
 of the sheep.

00:08:09.379 --> 00:08:09.799
 To him,

00:08:09.859 --> 00:08:10.979
 the gatekeeper opens.

00:08:11.039 --> 00:08:12.019
 He's like an under-shepherd.

00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:12.759
 He's kind of working

00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:13.339
 the door

00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:14.779
 of the sheepfold.

00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:16.219
 Recognizes that

00:08:16.219 --> 00:08:17.079
 this guy's legit.

00:08:17.779 --> 00:08:19.019
 The sheep hear His voice

00:08:19.019 --> 00:08:19.899
 and He calls

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:21.019
 His own sheep by name

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:21.719
 and leads them out.

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.459
 He's legit.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:23.939
 The sheep recognize Him.

00:08:24.159 --> 00:08:25.079
 They trust Him.

00:08:25.079 --> 00:08:26.079
 They hear Him

00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:26.979
 call their names

00:08:26.979 --> 00:08:28.240
 and they follow Him.

00:08:28.379 --> 00:08:29.060
 They go after Him.

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:29.759
 Literally,

00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.659
 He calls them by name.

00:08:33.579 --> 00:08:35.100
 He knows His sheep.

00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:38.620
 He's recognized.

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:41.059
 He's legitimate.

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:44.120
 Did you notice

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:44.879
 the kind of language

00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:45.919
 Jesus is using here?

00:08:46.059 --> 00:08:47.559
 He's saying,

00:08:48.079 --> 00:08:50.000
 to Him the gatekeeper opens,

00:08:50.139 --> 00:08:51.259
 the sheep hear His voice,

00:08:51.259 --> 00:08:53.840
 and He calls His own sheep

00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.759
 by name.

00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:57.879
 His own sheep by name.

00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:00.460
 The shepherd,

00:09:01.319 --> 00:09:01.960
 obviously,

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:04.100
 is Jesus referring to Himself.

00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.179
 He knows His own sheep.

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.000
 He calls them by name.

00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:11.240
 Christian,

00:09:11.439 --> 00:09:13.139
 if you're in the room

00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:14.439
 and you've been like,

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.659
 does Jesus know me?

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:18.200
 Absolutely.

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:20.519
 He knows everything about you.

00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.199
 He knows your name.

00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:25.139
 He called you by name

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:26.059
 to follow Him.

00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:29.299
 You are not some nameless face

00:09:29.299 --> 00:09:30.360
 in a crowd

00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:32.539
 that Jesus poured out His blood

00:09:32.539 --> 00:09:33.980
 generally for.

00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.220
 He shed His blood for you.

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:38.659
 His goodness runs red.

00:09:43.579 --> 00:09:47.939
 What He says here is striking.

00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:52.460
 He's saying something

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:53.880
 with clarity and confidence.

00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:54.540
 He's saying,

00:09:55.260 --> 00:09:56.840
 my sheep will recognize

00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:57.620
 my voice.

00:09:58.640 --> 00:09:59.660
 This is getting at

00:09:59.660 --> 00:10:00.680
 what theologians call

00:10:00.680 --> 00:10:01.900
 the irresistible call.

00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:03.780
 There's the general gospel call,

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:05.280
 which the gospel goes out

00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:05.900
 to people,

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:06.900
 all people,

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.120
 and then God

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:09.560
 effectually

00:10:09.560 --> 00:10:11.320
 is working within that

00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.220
 to call a people

00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:14.220
 and the elect

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.220
 to Himself.

00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:17.300
 those He's known

00:10:17.300 --> 00:10:18.379
 from the foundation

00:10:18.379 --> 00:10:19.519
 before the foundation

00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:20.519
 of the world.

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.139
 His voice

00:10:26.139 --> 00:10:28.860
 is recognized.

00:10:30.560 --> 00:10:31.620
 It's distinct.

00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.860
 It's known.

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.700
 We've learned some things

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:37.440
 about Jesus

00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.460
 along the way here.

00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.360
 Remember John 1,

00:10:40.460 --> 00:10:40.800
 1,

00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:41.440
 in the beginning

00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.100
 was the Word

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:42.580
 and the Word

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:43.759
 was with God

00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:44.160
 and the Word

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:44.840
 was God

00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:45.220
 and the Word

00:10:45.220 --> 00:10:45.879
 became flesh

00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:46.720
 and dwelt among us

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:47.440
 and He was full

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.360
 of grace and truth.

00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.480
 He's full of steadfast

00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:51.180
 love and faithfulness.

00:10:51.280 --> 00:10:53.060
 He puts on God,

00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.200
 God on display

00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.920
 in an incarnate way.

00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.060
 It's glorious.

00:10:58.340 --> 00:10:58.940
 And then at the end

00:10:58.940 --> 00:10:59.639
 of chapter 8,

00:10:59.720 --> 00:10:59.940
 do you remember

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:00.740
 what Jesus says

00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:02.019
 before Abraham

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:03.120
 was I am?

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.980
 Do you know

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:07.259
 what makes Jesus

00:11:07.259 --> 00:11:08.840
 the legit shepherd?

00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.000
 He's God.

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:14.560
 He is the God.

00:11:14.860 --> 00:11:16.240
 So like Psalm 23,

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:18.639
 the Lord Jesus

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.060
 is my shepherd.

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:22.399
 I shall not want.

00:11:24.179 --> 00:11:25.460
 He's the real thing.

00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:27.600
 In verse 5,

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:28.740
 Jesus comes back

00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:30.759
 to the contrast.

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:31.500
 He says,

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:32.360
 a stranger

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.360
 they will not follow

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:35.220
 but they will flee from Him

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:36.220
 for they do not know

00:11:36.220 --> 00:11:37.580
 the voice of strangers.

00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:38.639
 A stranger

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.500
 is unrecognized,

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:40.980
 unknown,

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:41.659
 untrusted.

00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:43.779
 Do you see

00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:44.700
 the contrast

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:45.700
 Jesus is doing here?

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:46.720
 And do you remember

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.600
 who He's talking to?

00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:49.320
 He's talking to these Pharisees

00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.379
 who He's calling thieves

00:11:51.379 --> 00:11:52.179
 and robbers

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:53.019
 and strangers.

00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.440
 Unrecognized

00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:56.759
 by the sheep.

00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:57.539
 His sheep.

00:11:59.620 --> 00:12:00.899
 The sheep won't follow

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.480
 a stranger.

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.120
 They don't know

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:04.720
 His voice.

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:06.600
 They're illegitimate

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.399
 shepherds.

00:12:08.659 --> 00:12:09.299
 And so what Jesus

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:10.079
 is doing in verses

00:12:10.079 --> 00:12:10.740
 1-5

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:11.539
 is emphasizing

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:12.639
 that He is

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.860
 the legit leader

00:12:13.860 --> 00:12:14.919
 of God's people.

00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.240
 The legit shepherd

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:17.840
 because He is

00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:19.659
 God in the flesh.

00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:20.600
 He's no thief,

00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:21.100
 robber,

00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:21.659
 or stranger.

00:12:22.179 --> 00:12:23.139
 His sheep

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:24.579
 recognize them.

00:12:25.319 --> 00:12:26.079
 And then verse 6

00:12:26.079 --> 00:12:26.720
 we have something

00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:27.679
 very ironic.

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.279
 The sheep

00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:31.879
 read this.

00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.059
 This is John

00:12:33.059 --> 00:12:33.699
 piping up.

00:12:34.459 --> 00:12:35.240
 This figure of speech

00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:35.959
 Jesus used

00:12:35.959 --> 00:12:36.740
 with them,

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:37.559
 the Pharisees,

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:39.539
 but they did not

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:40.279
 understand what

00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:41.259
 He was saying to them.

00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:42.799
 Now isn't that ironic?

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:45.120
 Because His sheep

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.279
 will hear His voice

00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.120
 and follow Him.

00:12:47.959 --> 00:12:48.759
 But these men

00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:50.220
 do not hear His voice.

00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:50.819
 They are not

00:12:50.819 --> 00:12:51.559
 following Him.

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.600
 They are not His sheep.

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.680
 Who would you rather

00:12:56.680 --> 00:12:58.100
 have as your leader?

00:12:59.379 --> 00:13:00.200
 A thief,

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:00.779
 robber,

00:13:01.019 --> 00:13:01.420
 stranger,

00:13:02.180 --> 00:13:04.620
 or God incarnate?

00:13:08.180 --> 00:13:09.180
 We move on

00:13:09.180 --> 00:13:10.420
 to the second truth

00:13:10.420 --> 00:13:11.000
 Jesus

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:12.860
 describes Himself

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:13.259
 with

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.600
 about Him

00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:14.840
 and

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.200
 the purposed

00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:16.779
 shepherd.

00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:18.860
 So let me just read

00:13:18.860 --> 00:13:19.680
 chapter 10

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.700
 verses 7-10.

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:23.280
 And Jesus said

00:13:23.280 --> 00:13:23.620
 to them,

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:23.980
 Truly,

00:13:24.140 --> 00:13:24.360
 truly,

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.320
 I say to you,

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:26.360
 I am the door

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:26.920
 of the sheep.

00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.720
 All who came

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.379
 before Me

00:13:32.379 --> 00:13:32.960
 are thieves

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:33.680
 and robbers,

00:13:34.220 --> 00:13:35.020
 but the sheep

00:13:35.020 --> 00:13:35.800
 did not listen

00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:36.280
 to them.

00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:37.120
 I am the door.

00:13:37.220 --> 00:13:38.020
 If anyone enters

00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:38.540
 by Me,

00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:39.400
 he will be saved

00:13:39.400 --> 00:13:40.920
 and will go in

00:13:40.920 --> 00:13:41.420
 and out

00:13:41.420 --> 00:13:42.360
 and find pasture.

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:43.879
 The thief comes

00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:44.879
 only to steal

00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:45.360
 and kill

00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.960
 and destroy.

00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:46.920
 I came

00:13:46.920 --> 00:13:48.680
 that they

00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:49.759
 may have life

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.639
 and have it

00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.220
 abundantly.

00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:55.379
 So the second truth

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.259
 is about

00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:57.919
 the purpose

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.740
 of the good shepherd.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.679
 And verse 7

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:02.460
 begins with another,

00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:02.740
 Truly,

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:03.039
 truly,

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:04.000
 I say to you,

00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:04.600
 and again,

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.100
 He's speaking

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:06.299
 to the Pharisees.

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:07.939
 And so it's like

00:14:07.939 --> 00:14:08.659
 Jesus is like,

00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:09.279
 I know you don't

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:09.819
 understand Me,

00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:10.259
 so I'm going to

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:10.679
 come in from

00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.379
 a different angle.

00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:12.340
 I'm going to

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:13.220
 speak from

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.799
 the perspective

00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.080
 of the door

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.819
 of the sheep pen.

00:14:16.820 --> 00:14:19.700
 perspective of

00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:20.260
 the gate,

00:14:21.140 --> 00:14:22.879
 the sole entrance

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.940
 in and out

00:14:24.940 --> 00:14:27.000
 of the sheep fold.

00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:27.420
 Now,

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:28.120
 let's just

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.860
 ask a basic question.

00:14:30.660 --> 00:14:32.000
 What is the purpose

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.660
 of a door?

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.460
 What's the purpose

00:14:34.460 --> 00:14:35.020
 of a gate?

00:14:35.780 --> 00:14:36.520
 The purpose

00:14:36.520 --> 00:14:37.000
 of a door

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:37.379
 or gate

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:37.760
 is,

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:38.879
 generally speaking,

00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:39.360
 to keep

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:40.840
 bad things out

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:41.260
 and keep

00:14:41.260 --> 00:14:42.100
 good things in.

00:14:42.760 --> 00:14:43.580
 I have a grandson.

00:14:44.040 --> 00:14:44.780
 His name is Hudson.

00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:46.020
 He's 18 months old.

00:14:46.019 --> 00:14:46.600
 He's mobile.

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:48.340
 We have a fenced

00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:48.860
 backyard.

00:14:49.199 --> 00:14:50.079
 We keep the gate

00:14:50.079 --> 00:14:50.620
 closed.

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:51.960
 We don't want

00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:52.860
 anybody coming in

00:14:52.860 --> 00:14:53.860
 that shouldn't be there

00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:55.019
 and we don't want

00:14:55.019 --> 00:14:56.279
 Hudson getting out.

00:14:57.740 --> 00:14:58.960
 A door serves

00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:00.120
 a purpose.

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:03.179
 And what we have here

00:15:03.179 --> 00:15:04.340
 is Jesus describing

00:15:04.340 --> 00:15:07.120
 Himself as a purpose,

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:09.379
 a function.

00:15:11.379 --> 00:15:11.860
 Jesus

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:14.199
 is presenting

00:15:14.199 --> 00:15:15.620
 Himself as the door

00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:16.840
 that both

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.480
 protects

00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.360
 the sheep

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.240
 and provides

00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:21.980
 for the sheep.

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:23.539
 Let me point it out

00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:23.879
 to you.

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:25.480
 In verse 8,

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:26.440
 there's this picture

00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:27.120
 of protection.

00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:29.220
 Let me read it.

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:30.940
 All who came

00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:31.519
 before me

00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:32.120
 are thieves

00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:32.779
 and robbers,

00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:33.940
 but the sheep

00:15:33.940 --> 00:15:34.740
 did not listen

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:35.240
 to them.

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.259
 I want you

00:15:38.259 --> 00:15:38.560
 to turn

00:15:38.560 --> 00:15:39.120
 to your Bibles

00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:39.919
 to Ezekiel

00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:41.120
 chapter 34.

00:15:41.379 --> 00:15:41.840
 It's on page

00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:42.879
 857

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:44.299
 of your pew Bible.

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:45.639
 This is kind of

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:46.639
 a lengthy section

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:47.620
 I'm going to read,

00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:49.200
 but I'm going to read it

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:50.320
 so you get it.

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:52.120
 What Jesus

00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:53.240
 is saying here

00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.899
 has roots

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:57.259
 in Ezekiel 34

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:58.220
 that you will see.

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:01.580
 So in Ezekiel 34,

00:16:01.939 --> 00:16:03.120
 God speaks

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:04.480
 to Ezekiel

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.379
 who also goes

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:06.399
 by the Son of Man.

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.919
 And in 34.1

00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.939
 we read this.

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:12.819
 The word of the Lord

00:16:12.819 --> 00:16:13.500
 came to me.

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:14.659
 Son of Man,

00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.779
 prophesy against

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:16.579
 the shepherds

00:16:16.579 --> 00:16:17.199
 of Israel,

00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:18.939
 the human leaders

00:16:18.939 --> 00:16:19.519
 of Israel.

00:16:21.959 --> 00:16:22.819
 Prophesy and say

00:16:22.819 --> 00:16:23.139
 to them,

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.299
 even to the shepherds,

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:25.620
 thus says

00:16:25.620 --> 00:16:26.360
 the Lord God,

00:16:26.539 --> 00:16:27.360
 ah, shepherds

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:27.799
 of Israel

00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:28.340
 who have been

00:16:28.340 --> 00:16:29.279
 feeding yourselves.

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.299
 Should not shepherds

00:16:31.299 --> 00:16:31.899
 feed the sheep?

00:16:32.699 --> 00:16:33.740
 You eat the fat.

00:16:33.899 --> 00:16:34.679
 You clothe yourself

00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:35.299
 with the wool.

00:16:35.299 --> 00:16:36.759
 You slaughter the fat ones

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:37.559
 but you do not

00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:38.419
 feed the sheep.

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.620
 The weak

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.819
 you have not strengthened.

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.479
 The sick

00:16:41.479 --> 00:16:42.479
 you have not healed.

00:16:42.819 --> 00:16:43.439
 The injured

00:16:43.439 --> 00:16:44.699
 you have not bound up.

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.399
 The strayed

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.639
 you have not brought back.

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.639
 The lost

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.639
 you have not sought.

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.679
 And with force

00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.599
 and harshness

00:16:50.599 --> 00:16:52.579
 you have ruled them.

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.959
 Maybe you've experienced

00:16:53.959 --> 00:16:55.519
 a human shepherd's

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:57.139
 force and harshness.

00:16:58.299 --> 00:16:59.559
 So they were scattered

00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:01.419
 because there was no shepherd

00:17:01.419 --> 00:17:02.879
 and they became food

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.220
 for all the wild beasts.

00:17:04.220 --> 00:17:05.440
 My sheep were scattered.

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.400
 They wandered over

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.200
 all the mountains

00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:08.759
 and on every high hill.

00:17:08.860 --> 00:17:09.819
 My sheep were scattered

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:11.100
 over the face of the earth

00:17:11.100 --> 00:17:12.600
 with no one to search

00:17:12.600 --> 00:17:13.420
 or seek for them.

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:14.759
 And down in verse 9

00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.640
 he says,

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:16.740
 therefore you shepherds

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.880
 hear the word of the Lord.

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.339
 Thus says the Lord God,

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:19.740
 behold,

00:17:19.860 --> 00:17:21.880
 I am against the shepherds.

00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:23.420
 And I will require

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:24.579
 my sheep at their hand

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:25.819
 and put a stop

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:27.100
 to their feeding the sheep.

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:28.360
 No longer shall

00:17:28.360 --> 00:17:28.880
 the shepherds

00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:29.600
 feed themselves.

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:30.680
 I will rescue

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.500
 my sheep from

00:17:31.500 --> 00:17:32.559
 their mouths

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.900
 that they may not

00:17:33.900 --> 00:17:34.980
 be food for them.

00:17:35.059 --> 00:17:36.380
 Okay, so this is a big rebuke

00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:38.980
 of the human shepherds

00:17:38.980 --> 00:17:39.500
 of Israel.

00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.740
 They've failed.

00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:45.339
 And then God says

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:46.779
 in verse 11,

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:49.079
 for thus says

00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:49.920
 the Lord God,

00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:51.740
 behold,

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:53.940
 I myself

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:55.339
 will search for my sheep

00:17:55.339 --> 00:17:56.559
 and will seek them out.

00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.519
 as a shepherd

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.619
 seeks out his flock

00:17:59.619 --> 00:18:01.139
 when he is among his sheep

00:18:01.139 --> 00:18:02.500
 that have been scattered,

00:18:02.659 --> 00:18:03.980
 so will I

00:18:03.980 --> 00:18:05.399
 seek out my sheep

00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:07.079
 and I will rescue them

00:18:07.079 --> 00:18:08.379
 from all the places

00:18:08.379 --> 00:18:09.339
 where they've been scattered

00:18:09.339 --> 00:18:10.539
 on a day of clouds

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:11.419
 and thick darkness.

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.339
 And I will bring them

00:18:13.339 --> 00:18:14.419
 out from the peoples

00:18:14.419 --> 00:18:15.119
 and gather them

00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:15.940
 from the countries

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:17.299
 and will bring them

00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:18.839
 into their own land

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.759
 and I will feed them

00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:20.839
 on the mountains of Israel

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:22.039
 by the ravines

00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:23.960
 and on all the inhabited

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:26.119
 places of the country.

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:26.899
 I will feed them

00:18:26.899 --> 00:18:27.799
 with good pasture.

00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:29.399
 How about that

00:18:29.399 --> 00:18:30.079
 for a contrast?

00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:32.619
 You know what God is saying?

00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:34.599
 I am the shepherd

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:35.239
 of my people.

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:39.139
 There's no accident

00:18:39.139 --> 00:18:41.119
 in Jesus using

00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.219
 this shepherding language

00:18:43.219 --> 00:18:44.679
 with the Pharisees.

00:18:45.919 --> 00:18:47.619
 He is calling them

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:49.379
 failed shepherds

00:18:49.379 --> 00:18:50.759
 without calling them shepherds.

00:18:53.959 --> 00:18:55.139
 These Pharisees

00:18:55.140 --> 00:18:57.580
 are thieves and robbers.

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:59.020
 They're strangers.

00:19:00.540 --> 00:19:01.680
 And Jesus is the gate.

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.400
 And he is protecting

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.200
 his sheep

00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:10.580
 from these thieves and robbers.

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:11.740
 From going out

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.660
 and following them.

00:19:12.780 --> 00:19:13.980
 From hearing their voice.

00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:16.400
 They don't recognize it.

00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:17.400
 They're not going to go.

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:17.500
 So,

00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:21.259
 what we see going on

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:21.860
 in John 10

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:24.820
 is this fulfillment

00:19:24.820 --> 00:19:26.440
 of Ezekiel 34

00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.700
 happening in the coming

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:28.259
 of Jesus.

00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.080
 In verse 9,

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:31.460
 he says,

00:19:31.540 --> 00:19:32.060
 I am the door.

00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:33.680
 And now we have

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.000
 a picture of provision.

00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:35.860
 Not only is he just

00:19:35.860 --> 00:19:37.040
 protecting his flock

00:19:37.040 --> 00:19:37.620
 as the gate,

00:19:37.980 --> 00:19:39.480
 he's providing for them.

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:41.500
 Look what he provides.

00:19:43.300 --> 00:19:44.100
 Verse 10,

00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:44.680
 the thief,

00:19:45.560 --> 00:19:46.080
 no, excuse me,

00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:46.519
 verse 9,

00:19:46.639 --> 00:19:47.839
 if anyone enters by me,

00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:49.119
 he will be saved.

00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:51.379
 If anyone comes

00:19:51.379 --> 00:19:52.399
 into the sheepfold

00:19:52.399 --> 00:19:54.059
 through him,

00:19:54.439 --> 00:19:55.480
 he will be saved.

00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:57.399
 The sheepfold

00:19:57.399 --> 00:19:58.220
 is his people.

00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:00.679
 The flock of Jesus,

00:20:00.899 --> 00:20:01.539
 the good shepherd.

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:02.679
 And if you want

00:20:02.679 --> 00:20:03.819
 to be part of his people,

00:20:03.939 --> 00:20:04.639
 you need to come

00:20:04.639 --> 00:20:05.279
 through Jesus.

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:07.879
 It's similar

00:20:07.879 --> 00:20:08.439
 to what he says

00:20:08.439 --> 00:20:09.480
 in John 14, 6.

00:20:09.919 --> 00:20:10.500
 I am the way,

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:10.919
 the truth,

00:20:10.939 --> 00:20:11.419
 and the life.

00:20:11.579 --> 00:20:12.179
 No one comes

00:20:12.179 --> 00:20:12.699
 to the Father

00:20:12.699 --> 00:20:13.299
 but through me.

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:15.079
 Jesus is saying,

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:15.259
 hey,

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:16.419
 you cannot be saved

00:20:16.419 --> 00:20:17.220
 unless you come

00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:17.819
 through me.

00:20:18.419 --> 00:20:19.099
 I'm the gate.

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.139
 And the way

00:20:21.139 --> 00:20:21.579
 that you come

00:20:21.579 --> 00:20:22.159
 through Jesus

00:20:22.159 --> 00:20:22.759
 as the gate

00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:23.599
 is by believing

00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:24.299
 in his name,

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:26.559
 by trusting in him.

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:29.579
 This is an exclusive

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:30.720
 claim of salvation.

00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:31.779
 Salvation is found

00:20:31.779 --> 00:20:32.720
 in no one else.

00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:34.279
 The only way

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:35.019
 to be saved

00:20:35.019 --> 00:20:36.019
 is to become

00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:37.200
 part of Jesus' flock

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.079
 and to be part

00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:38.720
 of Jesus' flock,

00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.240
 you need to come

00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:39.859
 through Jesus.

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:43.579
 But once you

00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.359
 join his flock,

00:20:44.979 --> 00:20:46.599
 you come in

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:46.919
 and out

00:20:46.919 --> 00:20:47.719
 and find pasture.

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.339
 You know what

00:20:49.339 --> 00:20:50.059
 that's a picture of?

00:20:51.479 --> 00:20:51.879
 Life.

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:53.719
 If you're a sheep,

00:20:54.059 --> 00:20:54.519
 it's a picture

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:55.240
 of the good life.

00:20:56.399 --> 00:20:57.299
 You come in

00:20:57.299 --> 00:20:58.179
 and out in safety.

00:20:58.659 --> 00:21:00.679
 You eat green

00:21:00.679 --> 00:21:01.959
 from green pasture.

00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:04.199
 The Lord Jesus

00:21:04.199 --> 00:21:06.079
 is my shepherd.

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:06.819
 I shall not want.

00:21:06.819 --> 00:21:07.439
 He leads me

00:21:07.439 --> 00:21:09.019
 besides still waters.

00:21:09.019 --> 00:21:09.700
 He leads me

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.619
 to good pasture.

00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:13.420
 He restores my soul.

00:21:16.099 --> 00:21:17.460
 In verse 10,

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:19.420
 we have this

00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:21.460
 emphatic contrast

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:23.180
 of purpose.

00:21:24.139 --> 00:21:25.059
 Look at the purpose

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:27.139
 of these failed shepherds.

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:29.200
 The thief comes only

00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:30.259
 to steal and kill

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:30.799
 and destroy.

00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:32.039
 What's the purpose?

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.740
 Kill,

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:34.900
 steal,

00:21:34.900 --> 00:21:35.339
 destroy.

00:21:36.099 --> 00:21:37.799
 These failed shepherds

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.279
 are in it for themselves.

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.220
 They're using the sheep.

00:21:42.919 --> 00:21:43.940
 They're trying to

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:45.059
 advantage themselves

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:46.399
 through the sheep.

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.740
 But look at

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:51.220
 what the legit shepherd does.

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.759
 He says of himself,

00:21:52.899 --> 00:21:53.480
 I came

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:54.980
 that they may have life

00:21:54.980 --> 00:21:56.539
 and have it abundantly.

00:21:56.619 --> 00:21:57.940
 It's the complete opposite

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.899
 of what thieves

00:21:58.899 --> 00:21:59.720
 and robbers do.

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.559
 He came to give life

00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:05.539
 and to give abundant life.

00:22:05.859 --> 00:22:07.700
 It's his purpose

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:09.839
 and it's being pictured

00:22:09.839 --> 00:22:11.399
 as dependent

00:22:11.399 --> 00:22:13.019
 on Jesus.

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:14.919
 We're dependent

00:22:14.919 --> 00:22:16.059
 on him

00:22:16.059 --> 00:22:17.279
 for the good life.

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:18.819
 He's the one.

00:22:18.919 --> 00:22:19.440
 He's the gate.

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:20.139
 He's the shepherd.

00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:21.839
 He brings us in and out

00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:23.619
 and helps us find pastures.

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:24.980
 The good life

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:25.940
 is in Jesus,

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:26.919
 the good shepherd.

00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.140
 Let me just

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:33.860
 expand on that

00:22:33.860 --> 00:22:34.500
 a little bit.

00:22:37.380 --> 00:22:38.640
 The good life

00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:41.580
 is a life

00:22:41.580 --> 00:22:43.060
 that glorifies God.

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.180
 And it's not a life

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:47.940
 of independence

00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:48.920
 from God.

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.960
 It's a life

00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:52.259
 of dependence

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:54.100
 on God.

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:56.399
 Later in John,

00:22:56.419 --> 00:22:57.059
 we'll get there

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:57.759
 in a few weeks,

00:22:57.899 --> 00:22:58.599
 John 15,

00:22:59.299 --> 00:23:00.919
 Jesus pictures

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:03.000
 another way

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:04.019
 of talking

00:23:04.019 --> 00:23:04.859
 about dependence.

00:23:05.980 --> 00:23:06.740
 He says

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.480
 in verse 5,

00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:08.339
 I am the vine,

00:23:08.419 --> 00:23:09.259
 you are the branches.

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:10.559
 Whoever abides in me

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.240
 depends on me

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.059
 and I in him.

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:13.719
 He it is

00:23:13.719 --> 00:23:14.539
 that bears much fruit

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.299
 for apart from me

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:16.119
 you can do nothing.

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.159
 And then in verse 8

00:23:18.159 --> 00:23:18.659
 we read,

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:20.000
 by this my father

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.019
 is glorified

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:23.719
 that you bear much fruit.

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.319
 and so prove

00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.120
 to be my disciples.

00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:26.400
 That's the good life.

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.259
 Dependence on Jesus,

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.500
 bearing fruit

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:31.720
 for his name's sake,

00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:32.900
 bringing glory

00:23:32.900 --> 00:23:33.779
 to his father.

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.380
 So what we have here

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:37.600
 in verses 7 through 10

00:23:37.600 --> 00:23:39.440
 is a contrast

00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.799
 of purpose.

00:23:41.339 --> 00:23:41.940
 We have these

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:43.059
 illegitimate leaders

00:23:43.059 --> 00:23:45.299
 who are thieves

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:46.380
 and robbers,

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.839
 self-serving

00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:48.900
 at the cost

00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:49.980
 of the sheep,

00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:50.960
 destruction,

00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:51.960
 killing,

00:23:52.360 --> 00:23:52.720
 stealing.

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:54.019
 And then we have

00:23:54.019 --> 00:23:55.140
 the legitimate shepherd

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:57.819
 who is sheep-serving.

00:23:59.100 --> 00:24:00.799
 He brings life

00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:02.259
 to his sheep.

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.019
 Abundant life.

00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:06.519
 The good life.

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.559
 A life of dependence

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.240
 on God.

00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:12.799
 What would you rather have

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.860
 from a lever?

00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:14.900
 Abuse

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:17.100
 or abundant life?

00:24:17.099 --> 00:24:19.919
 which brings me now

00:24:19.919 --> 00:24:22.379
 to the third truth

00:24:22.379 --> 00:24:23.299
 that Jesus speaks

00:24:23.299 --> 00:24:23.859
 of himself.

00:24:23.959 --> 00:24:24.659
 And this is in verses

00:24:24.659 --> 00:24:25.619
 11 through 18

00:24:25.619 --> 00:24:26.639
 and I'm using

00:24:26.639 --> 00:24:27.699
 the word commitment.

00:24:28.059 --> 00:24:29.359
 The committed shepherd.

00:24:30.219 --> 00:24:31.599
 So we've seen

00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.019
 Jesus speak

00:24:33.019 --> 00:24:34.039
 about him

00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.799
 being legit,

00:24:35.219 --> 00:24:36.279
 about him being

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:37.099
 purposed

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:38.219
 to give life.

00:24:39.379 --> 00:24:40.259
 And now let's

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:41.879
 look at how

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:42.799
 he kind of

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.759
 spells out

00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:44.480
 his commitment

00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:45.559
 to his own.

00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.440
 in verse 11

00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:48.980
 he says

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:50.460
 I am the good shepherd.

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:51.619
 And then if you look

00:24:51.619 --> 00:24:52.599
 down in verse 14

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:53.500
 he repeats it.

00:24:53.659 --> 00:24:54.440
 I am

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.879
 the good shepherd.

00:24:56.139 --> 00:24:57.299
 What is so good

00:24:57.299 --> 00:24:58.980
 about this

00:24:58.980 --> 00:24:59.679
 good shepherd?

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:00.859
 What

00:25:00.859 --> 00:25:02.679
 what's his goodness?

00:25:05.179 --> 00:25:06.579
 What we're going to see

00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:08.220
 is that

00:25:08.220 --> 00:25:09.379
 his goodness

00:25:09.379 --> 00:25:11.159
 runs

00:25:11.159 --> 00:25:12.419
 red.

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:15.019
 in verse 12

00:25:15.019 --> 00:25:16.240
 he continues

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:16.740
 with this

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.440
 contrast

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.380
 between leaders

00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:21.000
 and he

00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.720
 he changes

00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:22.200
 his language

00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:22.440
 now.

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:22.920
 He's no longer

00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:23.279
 talking about

00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:23.940
 thieves and robbers

00:25:23.940 --> 00:25:24.440
 or strangers.

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:25.460
 He's talking

00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:26.060
 about a hired

00:25:26.060 --> 00:25:26.440
 hand.

00:25:28.060 --> 00:25:28.840
 And so he

00:25:28.840 --> 00:25:29.580
 says this

00:25:29.580 --> 00:25:32.300
 he who

00:25:32.300 --> 00:25:32.940
 in verse 12

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:33.500
 he who is

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:34.220
 a hired

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:34.720
 hand

00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:35.300
 and not

00:25:35.300 --> 00:25:35.820
 a shepherd

00:25:35.820 --> 00:25:37.019
 who does not

00:25:37.019 --> 00:25:37.900
 own the sheep

00:25:37.900 --> 00:25:39.200
 sees the wolf

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:40.120
 coming and leaves

00:25:40.120 --> 00:25:40.660
 the sheep

00:25:40.660 --> 00:25:41.340
 and flees

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:41.920
 and the wolf

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:43.040
 snatches them

00:25:43.040 --> 00:25:43.640
 and scatters

00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:43.820
 them.

00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:44.680
 He flees

00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.920
 because he's

00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:46.320
 a hired

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:46.740
 hand

00:25:46.740 --> 00:25:47.740
 and cares

00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:48.220
 nothing

00:25:48.220 --> 00:25:49.019
 for the sheep.

00:25:51.420 --> 00:25:52.240
 A hired

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:52.700
 hand

00:25:52.700 --> 00:25:54.580
 is not

00:25:54.580 --> 00:25:55.040
 a shepherd

00:25:55.040 --> 00:25:55.840
 Jesus says.

00:25:56.620 --> 00:25:57.500
 In other words

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:59.240
 he doesn't own

00:25:59.240 --> 00:25:59.560
 the sheep.

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.980
 He's just been

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:01.300
 hired

00:26:01.300 --> 00:26:02.300
 to make a

00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:02.680
 wage.

00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:03.840
 And what

00:26:03.840 --> 00:26:04.540
 Jesus points

00:26:04.540 --> 00:26:04.900
 here in

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:05.380
 verses 12

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:05.759
 and 13

00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:06.220
 is that

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:07.060
 this hired

00:26:07.060 --> 00:26:07.480
 hand

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:08.320
 is out

00:26:08.320 --> 00:26:08.640
 with the

00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:08.940
 sheep

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.980
 and he

00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:10.420
 sees a

00:26:10.420 --> 00:26:10.640
 wolf

00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:11.059
 coming

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:12.140
 and what

00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:12.420
 does the

00:26:12.420 --> 00:26:12.660
 hired

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:12.900
 hand

00:26:12.900 --> 00:26:13.140
 do?

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:15.980
 He splits

00:26:15.980 --> 00:26:17.680
 and leaves

00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:18.180
 the sheep.

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:19.820
 He abandons

00:26:19.820 --> 00:26:20.320
 the sheep.

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:22.160
 And if

00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:22.620
 you've been

00:26:22.620 --> 00:26:23.259
 around sheep

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:24.180
 which I try

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.880
 not to be

00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.940
 I'm not one

00:26:25.940 --> 00:26:26.360
 who likes

00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:26.660
 sheep

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:27.279
 or goats

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:30.259
 but sheep

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:32.000
 they're

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.840
 defenseless

00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:33.420
 beast.

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.279
 Easy

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:35.680
 pickings

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.019
 for a

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.259
 wolf.

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:38.200
 And so

00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:39.559
 what this

00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:39.860
 hired

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:40.220
 hand

00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:40.799
 does

00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.220
 is

00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:42.100
 in

00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:42.360
 order

00:26:42.360 --> 00:26:42.740
 to

00:26:42.740 --> 00:26:43.700
 save

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:43.860
 his

00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:44.080
 own

00:26:44.080 --> 00:26:44.600
 skin

00:26:44.600 --> 00:26:46.480
 he

00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:47.039
 leaves

00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:47.480
 the

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:47.920
 sheep

00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:49.140
 these

00:26:49.140 --> 00:26:49.640
 vulnerable

00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:50.340
 animals

00:26:50.340 --> 00:26:51.920
 to fend

00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:52.120
 for

00:26:52.120 --> 00:26:52.559
 themselves

00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:52.920
 and

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.400
 they

00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:53.700
 will

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:54.100
 not

00:26:54.100 --> 00:26:54.700
 last.

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.220
 I mean

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:56.539
 look what

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:57.680
 we read

00:26:57.680 --> 00:26:58.620
 and the

00:26:58.620 --> 00:26:58.799
 wolf

00:26:58.799 --> 00:26:59.360
 snatches

00:26:59.360 --> 00:26:59.580
 them

00:26:59.580 --> 00:26:59.759
 and

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.360
 scatters

00:27:00.360 --> 00:27:00.580
 them.

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:01.900
 Why?

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:03.539
 Why would

00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:03.819
 they do

00:27:03.819 --> 00:27:04.180
 this?

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:05.400
 Why would

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:05.779
 they bail

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.080
 on the

00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:06.360
 sheep?

00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:08.179
 Well Jesus

00:27:08.179 --> 00:27:08.639
 tells us

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:08.919
 in verse

00:27:08.919 --> 00:27:09.259
 13

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:09.939
 he flees

00:27:09.939 --> 00:27:10.279
 because

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:11.000
 he's a

00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:11.259
 hired

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:11.639
 hand

00:27:11.639 --> 00:27:12.159
 and

00:27:12.159 --> 00:27:13.079
 cares

00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:13.839
 nothing

00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:14.539
 for

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:14.779
 the

00:27:14.779 --> 00:27:15.079
 sheep.

00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:17.079
 He cares

00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:17.639
 for himself.

00:27:20.679 --> 00:27:21.500
 Now remember

00:27:21.500 --> 00:27:21.899
 who Jesus

00:27:21.899 --> 00:27:22.379
 is talking

00:27:22.379 --> 00:27:22.619
 to.

00:27:24.179 --> 00:27:24.879
 He's talking

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.500
 to Pharisees.

00:27:26.699 --> 00:27:27.379
 And what

00:27:27.379 --> 00:27:28.059
 Jesus in a

00:27:28.059 --> 00:27:28.639
 veiled way

00:27:28.639 --> 00:27:29.039
 is saying

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.500
 to them

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:30.559
 is he's

00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:31.099
 calling them

00:27:31.099 --> 00:27:31.539
 selfish

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:32.399
 and cowardly.

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.259
 because

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.840
 they're not

00:27:34.840 --> 00:27:35.480
 willing to

00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:35.940
 stick around

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.900
 for his

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:37.280
 sheep.

00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:39.580
 And in

00:27:39.580 --> 00:27:40.380
 contrast to

00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:40.940
 that we

00:27:40.940 --> 00:27:42.380
 learn that

00:27:42.380 --> 00:27:42.740
 the good

00:27:42.740 --> 00:27:43.160
 shepherd

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:44.320
 verse 11

00:27:44.320 --> 00:27:45.540
 lays his

00:27:45.540 --> 00:27:46.400
 life down

00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:46.800
 for the

00:27:46.800 --> 00:27:47.040
 sheep.

00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:48.360
 It's the

00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:48.700
 complete

00:27:48.700 --> 00:27:49.140
 opposite.

00:27:51.320 --> 00:27:52.560
 Verse 14

00:27:52.560 --> 00:27:53.040
 we're told

00:27:53.040 --> 00:27:53.420
 why.

00:27:53.540 --> 00:27:53.800
 I'm the

00:27:53.800 --> 00:27:54.320
 good shepherd.

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:55.860
 I know

00:27:55.860 --> 00:27:56.500
 my own

00:27:56.500 --> 00:27:56.980
 and my

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.560
 own

00:27:57.560 --> 00:27:58.160
 know

00:27:58.160 --> 00:27:58.840
 me.

00:27:59.620 --> 00:27:59.940
 I

00:27:59.940 --> 00:28:00.680
 know

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:01.740
 those

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:02.480
 who are

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:02.920
 mine

00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:03.519
 from before

00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:03.740
 the

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:04.220
 foundation

00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:04.700
 of the

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:05.080
 world.

00:28:06.060 --> 00:28:06.299
 I

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:06.799
 know

00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:07.220
 them.

00:28:08.360 --> 00:28:08.779
 I

00:28:08.779 --> 00:28:09.700
 go out

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:10.279
 for them.

00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:10.539
 I

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.140
 die

00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:11.440
 for

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.799
 them.

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:14.140
 The

00:28:14.140 --> 00:28:14.519
 question

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:15.080
 is what

00:28:15.080 --> 00:28:15.360
 does it

00:28:15.360 --> 00:28:15.660
 mean

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:16.500
 for him

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:16.759
 to

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.320
 know?

00:28:18.420 --> 00:28:18.920
 I

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:19.120
 know

00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:19.360
 my

00:28:19.360 --> 00:28:19.799
 own

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.039
 and

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:20.259
 my

00:28:20.259 --> 00:28:20.840
 own

00:28:20.840 --> 00:28:21.779
 know

00:28:21.779 --> 00:28:21.980
 me.

00:28:22.080 --> 00:28:22.220
 Look

00:28:22.220 --> 00:28:22.940
 at the

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:23.340
 beginning

00:28:23.340 --> 00:28:24.259
 of

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.100
 15.

00:28:25.340 --> 00:28:25.460
 He

00:28:25.460 --> 00:28:26.279
 actually

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:27.120
 gives

00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:27.440
 us an

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:27.940
 analogy

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:28.960
 of what

00:28:28.960 --> 00:28:29.240
 this

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:29.720
 knowing

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.200
 is.

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.360
 So he

00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:31.900
 says at

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.120
 the end

00:28:32.120 --> 00:28:32.240
 of

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.080
 verse 14

00:28:33.080 --> 00:28:33.259
 I'm

00:28:33.259 --> 00:28:33.340

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:33.740
 shepherd.

00:28:33.860 --> 00:28:33.900
 I

00:28:33.900 --> 00:28:34.019
 know

00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:34.200

00:28:34.360 --> 00:28:34.840
 know

00:28:34.840 --> 00:28:35.980
 me.

00:28:36.080 --> 00:28:36.200
 What

00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:36.420
 kind

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:36.539
 of

00:28:36.539 --> 00:28:36.880
 knowing?

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:37.640
 Just

00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:38.120
 as the

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:38.400

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.000
 me

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.440
 and I

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:39.640

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:39.840

00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:40.140
 father.

00:28:40.700 --> 00:28:41.000
 It

00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:41.259
 is a

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:41.700
 relational

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:42.180
 knowing.

00:28:43.299 --> 00:28:43.840

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:46.039
 another.

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:46.660
 If

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:46.920
 you

00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:47.420

00:28:50.620 --> 00:28:50.920

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.259
 We

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:53.440

 And so

00:29:44.580 --> 00:29:44.900
 16

00:29:44.900 --> 00:29:45.140
 we have

00:29:45.140 --> 00:29:45.320
 a bit

00:29:45.320 --> 00:29:45.540
 of a

00:29:45.540 --> 00:29:46.060
 surprise.

00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:50.140
 We

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:50.460
 read

00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:51.880
 and I

00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:52.020
 have

00:29:52.020 --> 00:29:52.220
 other

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:52.460
 sheep

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:52.640
 that

00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:52.720
 are

00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:52.920
 not

00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:53.060
 of

00:29:53.060 --> 00:29:53.220
 this

00:29:53.220 --> 00:29:53.440
 fold.

00:29:53.560 --> 00:29:53.720
 Huh?

00:29:54.140 --> 00:29:54.640
 What are

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:54.680
 you

00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:54.860
 talking

00:29:54.860 --> 00:29:55.060
 about?

00:29:56.620 --> 00:29:57.040
 I

00:29:57.040 --> 00:29:57.240
 must

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.500
 bring

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:57.720
 them

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.220
 also

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:58.480
 and

00:29:58.480 --> 00:29:58.600
 they

00:29:58.600 --> 00:29:58.740
 will

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:58.940
 listen

00:29:58.940 --> 00:29:59.080
 to

00:29:59.080 --> 00:29:59.240
 my

00:29:59.240 --> 00:29:59.560
 voice.

00:29:59.560 --> 00:30:00.060
 So

00:30:00.060 --> 00:30:00.240
 there

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.340
 will

00:30:00.340 --> 00:30:00.480
 be

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.759
 one

00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:02.200
 shepherd.

00:30:02.320 --> 00:30:02.440
 So

00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:02.780
 Jesus

00:30:02.780 --> 00:30:03.040
 is

00:30:03.040 --> 00:30:03.220
 in

00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:03.680
 Jerusalem.

00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:04.000
 He's

00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.259
 talking

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.400
 to

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:04.560
 the

00:30:04.560 --> 00:30:05.140
 Pharisees.

00:30:05.320 --> 00:30:05.660
 He's

00:30:05.660 --> 00:30:05.940
 in a

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:06.200
 Jewish

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:06.860

00:30:06.860 --> 00:30:07.420
 and

00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:07.640
 he's

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:07.880
 saying

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:08.040
 to

00:30:08.040 --> 00:30:08.240
 them

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:08.600
 I've

00:30:08.600 --> 00:30:08.759
 got

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.100
 other

00:30:09.100 --> 00:30:09.460
 sheep

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:09.700
 that

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:09.820
 are

00:30:09.820 --> 00:30:10.180
 not

00:30:10.560 --> 00:30:11.080
 the

00:30:11.080 --> 00:30:11.440
 Jewish
