Jesus said:
For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.
John 9 and 10
Most assuredly, I say to u, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
Be he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the doorkeeper opens and the sheep HEAR His voice and He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out,
And when he brings out his own sheep he goes before them; and the sheep follow him for they know his voice.
Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flea from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.
To help them understand Jesus went on:
Most assuredly, I say to u, I AM the door of the sheep.
All who ever came 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, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly!
I AM the good Shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
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.
The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.
I AM the GooD Shepherd, and I know My sheep, and am known by My own.
As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And OTHER SHEEP I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will HEAR My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again.
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it again. This command I have received from my Father.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
And I give them Eternal LIFE and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than ALL; and No One is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.
I and My Father are ONE.
U r homefree on the winning team and again I'd like to say:
Welcome to the FUTURE!
