“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.‘ John 10:10
This is the great conflict of the ages.
The thief vs. The Good Shepherd.
One comes to steal, kill and destroy.
But the other gives life and more abundantly.
The truth of the matter is this , you are either a thief in human nature, or a shepherd sharing the truth of Gods Word.
Pointing others around you towards the gospel of Jesus Christ which was given by the grace of God alone, to uplift souls.
The pilgrimage of Jesus was to recreate the image of God in man, a development giving hope; purpose and glory of life.
Whoever does not follow the example of Christ, but instead influences others to turn away from the source of life, he is defrauding them of all hope and God’s purpose to save them. They are no better then the thief or robber.
Here’s what we know about the good shepherd – Jesus.
He knows us all by name, He knows which house we live in, even the name of each occupant. He has been known to send His servants to go to certain streets, or even cities to find His sheep. We have heard of the divine appointments and testimonies.
Those who trust His leading will share with others in whom they know, the truth of His Word and encourage that they also should follow Him. And for those who say it matters not because of “grace” this is how how a hireling thinks John 10:12-13, and subject the sheep to deception and lack of good judgment.
Be aware of the thief.
” My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.’ John 10:27
In Christ Love, Amen
