wounds shelter ing them in the fold notice the designations of the shepherd in john 1011 hebrews 1320 1 peter 54 some have applied these des ignations to psalms 22 23 and 24 respectively only in psalm 23 is the idea of the shepherd introduced but in psalm we have a picture of our suf fering saviour the good shep herd giving his life for the sheep in psalm 23 he is cer tainly the great shepherd to whom we have returned from our wanderings and who cares fur all our needs in psalm 24 some see a prophecy of the ascension of christ oth ers of the second coming of christ in either case he can e regarded as the chief shep herd who at present orders the affairs of the undershep- herds and will return to re ward those who have faithful ly served in that ollice it is good to know these great shepherd passages but above all it is good to know the shepherd the teacher should not fail to notice that chapter 10 contin ues the discourse of chapter 9 seeing the connection will make the meaning of the open ing verses of chapter 10 clear er verse by verse john 101 he that climbeth up some other way is a thief and a robber the reference seems to be to the pharisees who were usur ping the teaching office in is rael fin office to which the le- vites were appointed lev 10 sll deut 3310 verse 2 but he that en- tereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep when a number of shepherds folded their flocks in a common fold a porter or doorkeeper was set and it was his business to see that only the shepherds en tered verse 3 the sheep hear his voice he calleth his own sheep by name this is exactly how the palestinian shepherd separates his sheep from a mixed flock he calls them the intimacy of shep herd and sheep is proverbial verse 4 he goeth before them and the sheep follow him for they know his voice these sheep have been ac quainted with the shepherds voice from birth he does not treat them as a drove but as individuals verse 5 and a strangei will they not follow for they know not the voice of strangers a stranger may call the same words but the sheep will pay no heed their confidence is in their own shepherd whose voice they know so well verse 0 they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them so far jesus has simply descri bed a familiar palestinian scene now we are told that it was intended to convey spirit ual truth but his hearers did not discern the spiritual truth and wondered why he should describe something so familiar to all verse 7 verily verily i say unto you i am the door of the sheep now jesus begins to draw the analogy and at first describes himself as the door where a shepherd had his own fold he himself filled the one opening and was thus the door to keep the sheep in and marauders out verse s all that ever came before me are thieves and robbers a very diffi cult verse it cannot mean that moses and the prophets in eluding john the baptist were thieves and robbers the ref erence must again be to the pharisees who had wrested the teaching office and were leading the people away from a spiritual religion to one of formalism but the sheep had been guarded from going after them vrese 9 am the door he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture now more implicitly he speaks of himself as the cne and only way of salvation see 116 and acts 12 verse 10 i am come that they might have life more abundantly false tea chers have nothing but death to offer and their specialty i- to spoil the flock of cod to deceive if possible oven the elect matt 2424 weymouth i but jesus is the giver of life with abundant provision fot its sustenance verse 11 i am the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep vow again je sus returns to the thought of himself as shepherd saving the sheep at the cost of his own life the heart of the lesson it is a pity that there is a chapter break here we are in clined to take the good shep herd discourse as an inde pendent utterance whereas it is part of our lords contro versy with the pharisees who had cast out one of his sheep from the fold of the svnagogue 931 3o the first five verses are a vivid description of palestin ian shepherd life with no hint of spiritual application till we come to the sixth verse in which john tells us that it is a parable we are not surprised that the blind pharisees 939- jl could not discern the par able they probably saw no connection between the ques tions at issue and thus lovely pastoral it is evident in the first place that jesus was setting himself up over against the pharisees as the rightful shop- herd over against thieves and robbers the pharisees had as sumed the right of command over the jewish conscience only to blind them to spiritual truth and destroy them with bigotry and dead legalism the sadducees who at that time held the high priestly seat were no better with their rationalism these were the marauders who had no right of access or had forfeited their right of access to the sheep jesus claimed for himself the place of the shepherd before elaborating his of fice of shepherd however our lord speaks of himself as the door not one of many doors but the door vs 7 9 see 140 and acts 112 coming by ifimj means salvation security and satisfaction v 9 the life to which he introduces his sheep is a life of abundance v 10 blessed with all spir itual blessings in heavenly places in christ eph 13 as the shepherd jesus has three things to sav of him self 1 he is- the good shepherd sacrificing himself for the sheep even unto death v 11 there have been brave shep herds who have hazarded their lives for lost sheep for an example one might turn to gunnarssons delightful little book the good shepherd and read about benedikt the icelandic shepherd who made his annual excursions into the mountains to find sheep that had been missed ill the gener al roundup but none of the ransomed ever knew how deep were the waters crossed xor how dark was the night that the lord passed through ere he found his sheep that was lost 2 there is an intimacy of communion between him and his sheep which is of the same order as the communion which exists between the fa ther and himself this is bet ter brought out in the asv of verses 11 15 i know mine own and mine own know me even as the father knoweth me and 1 know the father into the full exper ience of this communion we have not yet enterd but it has been established for us by his matchless grace 3 the good shepherd yearns over the other sheep v 10 the gentiles and will make of jewish and gentile believers one flock there are still oth er sheep to be reached for whom the good shepherd gave his life do we share with him his deep concern for them so that there is a might- y must directing our lives too business directory
