In this chapter the Lord Jesus is presented to us as the good shepherd. Do you know that He would even die for His own sheep?
The only way we can become one of His sheep is to receive Him as our Saviour. Any man who wants to enter in and be saved must come through the Lord Jesus, for He is also the door - not one of many doors, but the only door by which we can enter God’s heaven.
The Lord Jesus proved His love for the sheep by laying down His life for them. A hireling would flee, but the good shepherd would rather die. He died because we were sinners, and His precious blood has put away our sins. Now He can offer eternal life to all those who trust in Him and they shall never perish. What a wonderful gift this is! Have you received the Lord Jesus as your Saviour?
The people that He was talking to had no love for Him because they were content with their religion and their sins. They rejected the One whom the Father sent into the world and said He was blaspheming, because He said, “I am the Son of God.” However, there were many who believed on Him and said, “All things that John spake of this man were true.”
