…:1 — “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” Do you want to get into the “sheepfold”? If you do, you must get in through the “Door.” If you gain en…
John 10:2 — “But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.” In verse 9 Christ said, “I am the door.” Connect verse 9 with verse 2, and you will see that those who enter in through the Lord’s way are the only ones whom He acknowledges as she…
John 10:3 — “To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” The porter, the one in charge, opens the door only to those who have complied with the requirements for admission. In other words…

…esent Truth will note that by this illustration Christ points out that the only shepherds that He recognizes as His are those to whom the “porter” opens the Door and invites them in. The student will also note that all others are branded as imposters. And the …
John 10:4 — “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.” Since His sheep know not faces, but know voices, then, those who pay attention to faces and who cannot differentiate between voice a…
… of strangers.... All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.... The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. G…

Ancient David also was a young boy and nothing more than a common shepherd. But he was a good shepherd, the best in the land. God saw that he was mindful of and faithful to his duties, and so He determined to make the boy a king over His people. Indeed, when a…
…ss begins right wherever you happen to be, whether in the temple courts, in the sheepfold, in the yard of a slave master, in the prison house, or in the king’s palace — makes no difference where. You need not run to catch success, but you do need to bend down …
… luggage, as it were. And now, if they are to become permanent members in this “sheepfold” they too, must pass examination. You see, they are going through their struggle now just as you adults went through yours before you came here. And as somebody put forth…
As for their charge that the “Rod” teaches that the church is Babylon, we challenge them to produce the statement. And if they do not know what Babylon is, then they better read “The Shepherd’s Rod.”
