“Jesus answered them, ‘I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?’ The Jews answered him, ‘It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God’” (John 10:32, 33 English Standard Version). […]

“‘My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.’ The Jews picked up stones again to stone him” (John 10:29-31 English Standard Version). Your words are plain and clear to us, Lord God! No one can […]

“‘My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand’” (John 10:27, 28 English Standard Version). A herd of sheep will come running when their feeder comes to give them feed. In this same way, […]

“So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are […]

“There was again a division among the Jews because of these words. Many of them said, ‘He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?’ Others said, ‘These are not the words of one who is oppressed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind’” (John 10:19-21 English Standard Version)? Yes, Lord, […]

“‘No one takes it (life) from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father’” (John 10:18 English Standard Version). Jesus does have all authority as our Father has given to Him. […]

“‘And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd’” (John 10:16 English Standard Version).  We understand this to mean that He will bring the Gentiles into His fold. Thank You, Lord, for giving us this […]

I’m sorry my Saturday posts have been sporadic. Editing a book is real work. The book cover always gives me sleepless nights, because out of my six books only one was approved by Kindle Direct Publishing on the first upload. I still have so much to learn as my own publisher! Below is a snippet […]

“‘He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep’” (John 10:13-15 English Standard Version). Lord God, how can we not […]

“He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep” (John 10:12, 13 English Standard Version).  Thank You, Lord God, […]
