WHAT THE SHEPHERD IS FOR THE SHEEP:—
Their leader... John 10:3, 4.
Their door... ver. 7.
Their lover to death. ver. 11.
Him Who speaks to them,
Who knows them (ver. 27); Who gives His life for them (ver. 15), and Who gives them eternal life (ver. 28) Who seeks for them and finds them, each one, and carries each one home rejoicing (Luke 15:4, 5, 6).
