      THE GOOD SHEPHERD

      John 10:1–8

      The prophet says, All we like sheep have gone astray Isa. 53:6. In this parable, man is compared to sheep and Christ is the Shepherd. Men are like sheep—lost in sin and in need of guidance. Christ came into the world to teach men the way to heaven; by His teaching and example, He will lead us.

      I. The Comparison—vv. 1–6

      A. Salvation—v. 1. Christ uses this to illustrate the way to heaven (see John 14:6, Acts 4:12).

      B. Shepherd—v. 2. Christ is the great Shepherd.

      C. Saviour—v. 3. The door to God’s salvation is opened by Christ to those who accept His leading.

      D. Strangers—vv. 4, 5. Sinners do not follow Christ because they do not know His voice.

      E. Spiritual—v. 6. This parable is a spiritual lesson not understood by worldly people.

      II. The Christ—vv. 7–15

      A. Person—v. 7. Christ is the door. He is the only way of salvation. Note the wrong way—Prov. 14:12. Christ is personal—eight times in John, He says, I am.

      B. Problem—v. 8. All those before Christ were the thieves and robbers, blinded spiritually and without understanding. They were dead in sin; He came to quicken us—Eph. 2:1.

      C. Pardon—v. 9. Those who come to Christ will be saved. He turns none away (see Rom. 10:13; John 6:37). His blood cleanses us from all sin—I John 1:7.

      D. Personality—vv. 10–11

      1. Life—v. 10. He came to give enjoyable life (cf. Ps. 16:11).

      2. Love—v. 11. Christ the Good Shepherd gives His life for His sheep (cf. John 15:13).

      E. Practice—vv. 12–14. The hireling is someone to whom doing God’s work is a job—not a divine calling.

      F. Protection—v. 15. He gave His life for the sheep. We are always safe in Him (cf. Ps. 91).

      III. The Concern—vv. 16–18

      A. Soul winning—v. 16. The world needs Christ. Christians should not be content with their own salvation—they should feel compelled to reach the lost (Mark 16:15).

      B. Surrender—v. 17. Christ gave His life willingly. He died for all people everywhere—John 3:16.

      C. Sacrifice—v. 18. No one can kill me without my consent—I lay down my life voluntarily. For I have the right and power to lay it down when I want to and also the right and power to take it again. For the Father has given me this right—LB.

      When sheep refuse to follow the shepherd, they go astray; they face the possibility of being killed by other animals. As long as we remain in Christ, and He in us, no harm can come to us. If we stray from Him, we forfeit His protection and guidance; let’s follow our Shepherd closely.

      THE WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS

      Matthew 25:1–13

      This parable stresses the importance of being ready for the coming of Christ. He will come again—John 14:1–6. All the prophecies in Matt. 24 concerning His coming are in the process of being fulfilled. He wants His people to be awake and alert. Satan seeks to put God’s people to sleep spiritually, so they will not be
