The book of John

Chapter 10

***John10:1 "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

How man men and woman believed since Christ Jesus words here that they have enter into the sheep fold by the blessing of some religion upon earth, but have they or are they climbing up another way?

John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life.
5:41 I don't receive glory from men. 5:42 But I know you, that you don't have God's love in yourselves.

Why would one climb into the sheep pen instead of walking through the door, when all are invited? Well, fleshly false religion would have you believe all are not invited, but they are, they would have you believe they have the knowledge to enter into the sheepfold by their top teachers of their group, but do they?

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

Climbing implies self-effort not God effort, does it not? Why would someone think they could by self-effort get into a sheep pen requiring salvation from God, which sheep pen is outside of self-survival? Not only this, but if those same climbers got into the sheep pen they are thieves and robbers, shocking harsh words from Christ, for those thinking by works of law they can be approved of God. What is a work of law for a Christian's? Lets make this clear, its more than obeying the Old Law like most Christian's believe, it is any work, which we claim by our good effort that we can save ourselves.

John 6:29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."

Such work makes us a thief and a robber how? Simply put, there is one life God has authorized for our salvation, meaning without that God authorized life there is no salvation, which is Christ Jesus. In other words, the life of Christ Jesus has to be given too us by God kindness, unmerited kindness, it cannot be gotten any other way. We cannot obey enough commandments of our group rules to say: “I have earned life by my good efforts or my sincerity to serve God.”
No!

Christ life is God's covenant/law of love, his provision too us, and the world, the door into salvation. The door is a legal right earned by Christ Jesus good works and not man's upon earth – all men being sinners. Any claiming life by works of law are thieves they steal salvation through Christ Jesus by self-effort, which is a lie, and a robber.

Romans 3:28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

***John 10:2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

Whom entered the door of salvation by God legal mandate, and what was that? One person whom was not a sinner, a man proving faithful onto death, without sin, making him the shepherd of God's sheep, certainly not men upon earth claiming the right of shepherd by religious position, no!

Christ Jesus was the lamb of God, the legal righteous blood that completed what no human could complete, the law of God, setting it aside for a new covenant that removed our deserved judgment, by God's undeserved kindness. Here was the shepherd, the one prophet God had exulted into heaven as the King of eternity, too bad for the self-righteous, using their own good effort to climb into a sheep pen by high sounding position earned from personal hard work.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

No other Shepard prophet has God chosen to speak too his people, the body of Christ Jesus, the head of the body. No other person has been authorized by God approved by his legal requirement under the Law given to Moses, in meeting those legal requirements without sin, but the Son of God.

Romans 4:5 But to him who doesn't work, but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.

Thus, anyone or anything teaching any thing but the Christ is a liar and thief to the rightful God given position of the Son of God. Christ rightfully enter the door, to the Father by his righteous life, earning him eternal life, no human upon earth can earn life by obeying commandment's or laws of any religion, now, or before, Christ Jesus, hence, but Christ Jesus only, he is the one true Shepard of God sheep, don't be fooled by self-good self-efforts in climbing a religious ladder by merit/works claiming to be the door of the sheep pen.

Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. 1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

***John10:3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

There is no man, or human hands that opens the door of the sheep pen, nor close it, its that simple! Hence, creating illusive biblical arguments by God's word to teach the lie that your group, organization, or some man, or woman can judge whom goes into the sheep pen or not is adding to that lie.

Romans 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

It is only a thief and a robber that would steal God's own position of opening the door into His Son life Christ Jesus. It I only a presumptuous person like Satan the Devil that would stand up and take God's rightful rule of life and death in opening, and closing such a precious door of Christ Jesus life.

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

James 3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.

It is only a proud person that would seat themselves into the very temple of God as a king over brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, it is only those whom willingly destroy the spiritual lives of others by misleading them as God's door into life. No, God is love, opening the door into his Son life as a free gift, of his love. It is only those with the nature of a beast, like governments, whom coming in sheep covering but are inside ravenous wolves that, take, steal, Christ rightful position.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie.

Yes, these beast like men whom seek the glory of the world, in sheep covering setting themselves up as great ones over brothers and sister in Christ Jesus whom live under the lowly law of love, giving, and forgiving, being devoured by beast claiming they are the Christ upon earth as God's own door into the sheep pen.

Ezekiel 22:27 Her princes in its midst are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

***John10:4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

How does the sheep know the voice of the master? Well, false religion would have you believe the lie, by reading the bible, but if that were true why is it the very person reading and studying the Holy writing killed the Son of God? Why has their been so much evil wrought upon brother and sister by using the bible words, so how do these sheep here their master voice?

Is it by a law book using special words repeated like a righteous man? Is it a legal contract that one can run too binding God into talking only too your group. In other words, the doctrinal teachings of your group? Does your group open, and close the gate, Christ Jesus, by their hands with a contract binding God's with human hands?

Is your group a self-appointed Christ upon earth so they open the gate in heaven for you, are you following that voice, or the voice of the master unseen in heaven require faith? How do the sheep hear the voice of their leader the Christ?

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

Yes, by Spirit, but why by Spirit? Because God is working through his door (Christ) by Holy Spirit, so no man can corrupt it with their selfish unrighteous teaching depriving someone of eternal life. Its that simple, God did not entrust eternal life with a man-made religious organization. No! Just how much spiritual blood, and physical blood has been spill over self-righteous warring of religion by the thieves of God's gate, Christ Jesus, empowering themselves over the members of the body of Christ Jesus as an evil slave?

No a person cannot rest in truth, you can rest in faith which states salvation is entrusted into incorruptible hands, where evil men cannot break in and steal, if you listen to the master, in faith, as he speaks to you by God's Holy Spirit in his own ways and times.

John 3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

***John10:5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers."

Legal Christian's put Christ words off here into a future time when he comes to call his sheep home, but actually this is not future, expect to say for the apostles and Christ disciples waiting the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit.

Revelation 2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of my God

Romans 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,

Yes, this is the voice of Christ Jesus that only his body members here, body members of his spiritual body worshiping God in Truth and Spirit. No they don't here Christ voice just by the bibles written word about Christ, or for that matter what he spoke. It more than that, it is now the imperishable life of Christ Jesus speaking too his body members as the head of his congregation, that is, his own body.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

But for weed, legal minded Christian's, they hear only the drum of pounding over and over again God written word, repeated like a parrot believing such repeating will save them. Like immature children that think if the say certain words of the parent they are an adult. Sadly, the tactic of repeating words even to a dumb beast can cause the animal too speak words, but it does not changes hearts. The problem with fleshly minded Christian's they believe repeating words, and dressing a certain way changes a person heart. But what is changes is another person fleshly mind in judging what they accept and what they don't accept into their group.

Romans 1:4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

These Christ spoke of as hearing his voice could not be fooled, why? Simply put, they are apart of his own body, having but one head to speak, not a finger and toe trying to misled a person away from the voice of the Christ. No! There is no mystery here, but for the legal minded Christian that must find away to hear the voice of Christ Jesus audibly speak through their religious organization deceiving them into walking by sight and not faith, lead by Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as servants of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

1 John 4:13 By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

***John10:6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them.

The flesh is of no value at all in understanding the words of Spirit, they cannot hear the truth spoken by Spirit, its not possible, so what happens? A parable spoken by Spirit through the Christ become a legal document codified into verses from other place within the written word of God as laws, by the fleshly mind, and if laws are broken they convict a person of sin. Moreover, and worst, they often label the person an apostate from through the same man made religion whom created the laws in the first place!

No! The fleshly minded legalistic Jewish community could not understand Christ words here about sheep, gate, and a Shepard, it was crazy talk too them, not found in their understanding of the laws, so what value was it? It seemed foolish, worthless, garbage proving Christ had a demon! But how wrong were their fleshly judgments about the person speaking Spirit and truth, 180-eighty degrees wrong.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

They destroyed the Son of God, how strong are the assertion of our fallen flesh that it could murder, hence, believing with a zeal it was doing a righteousness for God? Yes, it is that strong when coupled with God's righteous laws. Look at the history of Jews, as well as Christian's from Christ forward, how many have destroyed the lives of others humans in the name of good, in the name of God's righteousness?

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Such is a fact that each one of us must stop, think, and give pause too before we assume our teachings, our ways, are correct enough to take the life of another human, or the spiritual life of another human on earth over our beliefs. The Jews, Christ spoke too here, could not understand Christ words, they could not understand what only the Spirit can teach, it was not a put down, but a law, a fact one type of species (flesh ) cannot turn itself into another kind (spirit), by words from God's word the bible, it requires God's help, not self-made mans help in doing so. This is a fact we must accept salvation does not come from our own efforts, but the efforts of God given us as a gift.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!

1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

John10:7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.

Can there be any doubt for a true Christian's loving the truth who the door of the sheep pen is? Only a person not reading Christ Jesus words here would put a man, a group, or an organization as the door to the sheep pen, but of much more importance why would Christ talk about this, shouldn't this be obvious?

Well, first let us remember the Jews were God's people picked because of the faith of Abraham, God's friend. The nation of Israel was made powerful by God through his righteous laws, and his blessings when they put faith in him as their God.

Subsequently, the Jewish nation thought they were God's door into paradise, not Jesus Christ who had been speak of being the bread of life, as God's manna given too those same Israelite's under the headship of the Old Law given to Moses. But here Christ removes a powerful organization of God, saying he is the door into life, but why?

John 6:32 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

John 6:34 They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."

John 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Simply put, the law could not make a person righteous, it could condemn a person as a sinner needing the blood of innocent victim, an animal in this case under the Old Law. So the nation did not get life from the law, nor was the blood of animals enough for them to get life with God. Hence, it was Christ Jesus blood that would open the door into life for all those accepting his life.

John 5:21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

John 5:24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

However, most Jew's rejected Christ Jesus by looking to an earthly organization, and its power, and its history for thousand's of years. However, it took real faith to see the Christ as God chosen channel over men in the flesh with powerful position honored and looked up to by other men. Today many reject the Son of Man for the same reason while using his name and God's written word for a man made organization with powerful honored leader over them. But Christ is the door and no one can shut that door upon earth or open it, only a fool and robber with think they were that worthy.

John 5:37 The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
5:38 You don't have his word living in you; because you don't believe him whom he sent. 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me. 5:40 Yet you will not come to me, that you may have life. 5:41 I don't receive glory from men.

***John 10:8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

What a powerful statement that just alluded the chosen people of God the Jews, how could all those that came before Jesus be thieves and robbers? How shocking the Jews were given Gods own law, they were the prophets entrusted with the holy things of God, they are those that led people too God!

But Christ Jesus is the truth, he was not evilly picking on the Jews, he himself came from the line of king David, so what indeed did he mean? What Christ spoke was the truth, the law was not eternal life with God for sinners, it was condemnation, and hate towards those that could not keep it, which was, all sinners from Adam. In other words, all humans are sinners. The law was not life to them all are dying accept one person, whom? Jesus Christ who did not sin, or was he born into sin. Hence, the law blessed him, rewarding him with eternal life, so he, hence, becomes the door into life.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

Romans 3:20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

If one stayed with law and did not accept the Christ they were going to be rob of the gift of life the Son of God. It was just that simple and all those not putting faith in Christ Jesus, and teaching other not too were thieves and robbers, stealing the gift of life, destroying the sheep. Here than is the meaning of Christ words speaking into the ear of Pharisee's and Scribes who were hatefully demanding power, and that would soon kill the gift of life.

Romans 6:14 For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

The law was righteous and good, but no human is, thus, God sent us salvation by the earned merit of Christ Jesus life, gaining life for us as God imputes that life too us. Those today claiming the name of Christ while going through some visible organization upon earth will find they have been robbed of the free gift of God love, Christ Jesus.

Romans 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

***John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

Saved from what? Saved from God's righteous judgment of death for all sinner. In other words, all sin, and all fall short of the glory of God, if we make the statement we have no sin we are a liar!

The door to being freed from the judgment of sin was not the law the Jews thought made them righteous, no! It was the blood shed for them for their sin upon the mercy seat of God found in the physical temple of God, which was the center piece of pure worship for God's chosen people.

Hebrews 10:4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

Yes, the blood opened a door for peace with God, not the law, which only caused hostility with man towards God. The blood set the nation right so they could rest from God's wrath towards sinful human being. Now Christ says: “I am the door!” His blood opened the door for all putting faith in Christ Jesus to have peace with God, into a wonderful rest from human justification in proving they are good enough by self-works to enter into rest with God by obeying the law, which of course was a lie!

Hebrews 13:20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, our Lord Jesus.

There was no self-goodness that could make one not a sinner, there was no law that could make one not a sinner. There was only the blood of Christ that one could enter into life, the life of the body of Christ Jesus, which is life for all those partaking of such life, the bread of life, and drinking the waters of life within that body of Christ Jesus, God's Holy Spirit. Yes, these are the ones that could come in and go out without fear of judgment creating a peaceful and wondrous relationship with a kind, and loving heavenly Father.

John 5:24 "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

***John10:10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Life abundantly what a wonderful thought in a world where each person daily marches towards death, where death steals the souls of mankind trying through every means to prevent death, where men and woman sale their souls for some moment of pleasure.

But Christ says he gives life in abundance what is the context of his words? The Jew thought life in abundance came from the Law given to Moses, God's laws. But it did not, the law did not bring life in abundance it brought with it the conviction of death with the hope of a better covenant of life with God. The hope was found in the blood of atonement spill upon the altar of God by the High Priest, it pictured the one great atonement for mankind by the Son of God Christ Jesus.

Romans 7:10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death.

Jesus Christ was the abundant life that would father the human race like Adam should have done, Adam father sin and death, but Christ would father eternal life in abundance for those putting faith in him. He would not convict people of sin like the law, with no way out, he would instead bring people to life removing sin, by his abundant life. Yes, this is the context of Christ words spoken to that Jewish nation which could not see past their glorious temple and it service. Christ was God's glory eternally and forever, but one must have eyes of faith to see his spiritual kingdom not made with human hands.

Hebrews 7:19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

***John 10:11 I am the good shepherd.{Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:11-12,15,22} The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

If a bad shepherd lays down his life for the sheep he does not become the door into the sheep pen why? Because all human sin and fall short of the glory of God. There is only God appointed shepherd without sin, Christ Jesus, and yes, he gave his life for those deserving of death because of love. Love of goodness in life to redeem us from our judgment of death. Christ speak to a much greater thought here in context to his words about the sheep pen, and that is, none of the prophets leading too Christ could redeem the human race, and yet here is where the Jews put their faith, not in the Christ.

Acts 8:32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.

All prior to Christ were thieves and robbers of eternal life, they could not give it by giving their life for brother, and/or God's sheep. Shocking as that might seem those faithful prophets including the greatest of the prophet John the Baptist whom gave their lives, but not one redeemed a brother into eternal life with the Father YHWH.

Psalms 49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

1 Peter 2:25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer{"Overseer" is from the Greek episkopon, which can mean overseer, curator, guardian, or superintendent.} of your souls.

However, the good Shepard Christ Jesus would give his righteous life willingly for the sheep, he thus, replaced what no human could remove off of mankind by his righteous blood, God's own judgment (the law). Yes, Christ the Lamb of God allowed God's wrath to passover our deserved judgment by putting faith in the door; the good Shepard of God's for his people the Jew's, and soon the Gentiles.

John 21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.

1 John 2:2 And he is the atoning sacrifice{"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation--the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

***John10:12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.

God is the righteous shepherd of his earthly children, but when Adam and Eve sinned death and destruction entered into the human race and every since misery has been their way. They have tried all forms of self-rule only to find generation after generation has sink into more hate and violence than the one before them.

Ps.90:10 The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away. 90:11 Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you? 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

They have setup one rulership after another by human shepherd's over them, only to end in a life of problems and destruction of others. Here Christ makes the point he has been appointed to be the substitute shepherd for his Father YHWH. What was lost will be restored by his sinless life, he perfectly obey his Father giving his life for what God is going to restore, the fallen human race from corruptions and sin. But the Jews whom Christ Jesus was speaking too thought there government was the shepherd over mankind and they would bring life to the Jews by the law.

1Cor.15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam was made a vivifying spirit

Rom.8:20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope 8:21 that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.

But as history testified it was a lie, the law only led them to God's means of salvation found in Christ Jesus. He was the one true shepherd, the promise messiah to come, the law did not prove to be salvation for that great nation, but instead the blood of lamb did. What can a Christian's take away from Christ words here? They can take away a sobering thought, which is, mankind with sin has both good and evil in them much like a thorn bush, we will always get bloody fingers when we look too sinful humans to rule over us a God's fruit of life.

Rom.3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.
3:11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. 3:12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not, so much as one."{Psalms 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Ecclesiastes 7:20}
3:13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit."{Psalm 5:9} "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"{Psalm 140:3} 3:14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."{Psalm 10:7} 3:15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways. 3:17 The way of peace, they haven't known."{Isaiah 59:7-8} 3:18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."{Psalm 36:1}

We will always receive some form of abuse, because we have lost the true shepherd as Adam and Eve did ending in death and destruction, which is the very thoughts which hurts others no matter our very best intention.

James 3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God. 3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

***John10:13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.

Christ gave his soul for the souls of mankind, this love is hard to explain that God and His Son cares more about us, than we often care about each other or ourselves. In other words, Christ Jesus was not hired by his Father to take care of the sheep the human race. There was no amount of money that would have bought Christ Jesus to give His soul for us.

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. 4:9 He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me." 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me,{TR and NU read "Go away" instead of "Get behind me"} Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"{Deuteronomy 6:13}

Christ gave it willingly for love of human being, let us never forget this one point if nothing else. The hire man enforce the laws and gives us justice we deserved for our evil thoughts from sin, but not Christ he did not return evil for evil he rather return good/love for our own evil towards him, and God. The thought of being hired here has a greater meaning than just monetary compensation, it holds the idea of motive of why people do for others what they do?

Luke 23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

Romans 12:17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.

Romans 12:21 Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

In other words, most human will go as far as it does not upset their lives, their position, their reputation. Hence, these false shepherd's are consider hired by God. They are doing a religious duty for many reasons/motives whom can know all the reasons, as many as shadows under a large tree of sin as the sun crosses its path.

We as human are not qualified to rule over others lives, but in the world the flesh its not satisfied until a position is obtained over others. It should be of no surprise that religion does not change the lust of a person heart to be on the top of the heap, what is does do is cause sinful human's to create position in the name of religious titles. Subsequently, no human with sin can take the position of Christ Jesus as the true shepherd, they are nothing more than hired hands, because they are not Christ Jesus. Hence, we can rest assured in Christ statement, and by the history of Christian religion and those that have been elevated into the top, and idolized; all of them have died, and when the full truth is known about their lives they have all sinned, and hurts others on their way to the so called top of their religion.

None could be any more than a hired person because their life could not be given as the righteous life of Christ Jesus freely gave, which bought, and paid the price for us.

John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

John 12:25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

*** John 10:14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own; 10:15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

God speaks to His children, its that simple, but how? Well, it is basic fundamental teaching of God word the bible by Holy Spirit, some thing the Jews did not understand, but why? It was only those special prophets chosen by God for his people whom communicated with God. Christ now states a time would come, and it was now that God would personally communicate with His children and they would individually be known by Him.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

In other words, God was removing the one thing that had constantly mislead human upon earth about Him, other human being. Now each slave of Christ Jesus would know the real voice speaking too them despite the very best efforts of Satan and God's opposers to destroy that communication with all form of false teaching by false relgion about God.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, "Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God!

Yes, God would out-pour His personal Holy Spirit causing each child of God to be born again into a new birth and new person from the incorruptible seed of Himself through His Son Christ Jesus. Subsequently, writing his law into their hearts, no longer mislead if possible his chosen one upon earth. They would be led by Holy Spirit feed the unleavened bread of Christ Jesus and would know each one the truth, needing no one too teach them about their Father YHWH.

John 3:34 For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

Here than the enemy defeated by the resurrected Christ Jesus, death and Hades both having no power over the imperishable life of Christ Jesus freely given to each son of God. Hence, Christ could make such a profound statement without fear of death or its corruption that he would not lose any of the sheep God had given him, because all of them heard the voice of their master.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

John 16:13 However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

Romans 8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

***John 10:16 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold.{Isaiah 56:8} I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

Christ did not close the door to the sheepfold but left it open to the nations. In other words, there was to be another flock of sheep he would shepherd, but whom are these sheep. There is no mystery in contexts to all the holy writings, all the apostles spoke of this additional sheepfold, not of the flock from the Jew's. Yes, they are the Gentles taken from every nations upon earth.

There is no religious dogma here, or some hidden agenda by Christ, a decoding as it were by some religion groups holding secret truths. Christ was not speaking of fleshly flock of sheep at the end of our world living upon the earth in paradise, but instead of the Gentles ready to come in at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon Christ resurrection, and Peters being given the instruction by Christ to go into the Gentles to bring out this sheepfold, starting with Cornelius.

Acts 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!"

There is no indication within God's written word found anywhere that the gathering of Christ other sheep would start only at the end of our world, in the last days. The truth is, Christ was sent only too the Jews, to God's household, not too any of the nations, not even those associated with the Jew's on a daily bases living among them, no! But to the Jew's only this was God's commission for Christ Jesus, to no one else but the Jews.

Matthew 10:5 Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Don't go among the Gentiles, and don't enter into any city of the Samaritans.

Here within short order God would commission through Christ Jesus to bring in the Gentles which started a new flock of followers unheard by the Jewish nation. This shocking development would be one of the controversial points of contention among the Jews and the apostles for the rest of their lives upon earth.

Galatians 2:14 But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?

There is no truth in placing this other flock at the end of the world, the sheer controversy over bring in the Gentles among Christ own Jewish followers, and the many books of the bible written to the Gentile dismisses any such claims, making such teachings erroneous and false doctrine.

***John10:17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life,{Isaiah 53:7-8} that I may take it again. 10:18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

Christ Jesus proved he was a servant in the truest since of the word to his Holy Father YHWH. Christ did not presumptuously run ahead of God, he waited his time in the flesh, and when it came time for him to leave this world, he willingly laid his precious life down without sin for the will of the Father.

Luke 17:7 But who is there among you, having a servant plowing or keeping sheep, that will say, when he comes in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down at the table,'

Luke 17:9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded? I think not.

Like Abraham Christ life completed faith to the perfection of prettiness, defeating all the lies of Satan, Christ was like Adam, but
unlike him in disobedience to his heavenly Father. Now Christ had power over life and death he could impute too us the treasure of his life founded in heaven so we too can eat of what Adam was forbidden to eat from after disobedience to God, the tree of life. Yes, Christ became too us the tree of life, we can partake therein by faith, in which Adam fail to do. By faith in Christ Jesus imperishable life hidden in the paradise garden in heaven we can sup with our heavenly Father by righteous Holy Spirit leading us into the ways of peace.

Luke 19:17 "He said to him, 'Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

Heb. 1:6 Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him." 1:7 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."{Psalm 104:4} 1:8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. 1:9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows."{Psalm 45:6-7}

We can now touch God's life through the resurrected Jesus Christ which Adam was cut off from by sin. Christ removed the wall blocking us from such life giving association, by abolishing the law of hostility waring against us. We have peace with God, first, because we know Him as our Father, secondly, we have peace because of the righteous blood of peace has been shed for us, Christ Jesus. His precious blood removes our judgment, we stand right before God not because we don't sin, but because Christ Jesus didn't and we are given his righteous standing as our own gift of God's love.

Nothing the Jews had could complete what Christ was going to do for the human race, no human had been such a lowly humble slave of God as Christ Jesus, Christ is the door to God Kingdom, and he opened it wide for all those seeking him by faith to enter.

Rom. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God. 8:15 For you didn't receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, "Abba{Abba is an Aramaic word for father or daddy, often used affectionately and respectfully in prayer to our Father in heaven.}! Father!" 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; 8:17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

***John10:19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words. 10:20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?" 10:21 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"{Exodus 4:11}

When the legal mind heres words of Spirit it sounds like babel and crazy talk to it. The fleshly mind must put all speech into a legal judgment of right and wrong, but Spiritual words do not fit into such convenient judgments.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Subsequently, it sound like babel or from the demons to the self-righteous legal minds. These Jew's minds were running ramped in listening to Christ words trying to related it to the law, but how does on restrict the wind having no earthly laws of man making it obey its control? Such talk by Christ was something not found in their doctrine, it could not be judged correctly by their many religious rules set up so people didn't have to act from faith, but from law where personal emotions were not involved. Once the legal mind of the Jew's could not make it fit into their everlasting running tape in their minds in repeating words like a parrot, they quickly labeled it from the demons. In other words, if it does not fit into our legal definition, it can't be right, if it doesn't fit into our religion it is wicked.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

But how wrong they were, because they were dealing with God's Son not from this world or from its wicked evil judgments that the very Law given to the Jews judged them all as unrighteous condemned sinners. Which law could not bring them life, life had to come from life, not law written upon stone, life given not in measure, but in abundance by the Spirit person YHWH, which life could only be found by faith in the spiritual gift of the Holy Spirit!

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

***John10:22 It was the Feast of the Dedication{The "Feast of the Dedication" is the Greek name for "Hanukkah," a celebration of the rededication of the Temple.} at Jerusalem. 10:23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. 10:24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
10:26 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

Here Christ make the point that weed-Christian's having a fleshly legal mind cannot get, you cannot know God unless you are Spirit led. In other words, the voice of God speaks to the children of God by Spirit and not legal doctrines of their faith.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

These Jew's were law bound, they knew God by the law, but not faith, why not faith? Because faith is trust, but the legal mind trust no one that is why it is a legal mind. The legal mind says first: “ I judge you wicked, for the law is for the wicked, now prove your not by meeting the laws demands”. But Christ said, God knows your wicked by the law, and I am finishing the law for you by Christ righteous blood so God can see you as justified and loved.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Here the Jews were judging by a bad eye having a rafter blinding them to the truth of the law, which was, no human could keep it being a sinner, so they needed faith in God's own goodness, not their goodness, and just what does that mean? It means if you are dead to God because you are born into sin, it take God's goodness to make things right. You have no power over sin nor death.

Matt. 7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. 7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Christ is telling these Jew's you cannot hear my voice by self-righteousness through works of the old law. You can only hear my voice through Spirit and truth, which truth is that you are a sinner deserving of death like all sinners. Subsequently, the legal minded Jews and weed-Christian's judges Christ wrong, and his body members because they do so from a fleshly legal mind, first accounting them evil by laws created for the wicked. But God has removed those laws from them not by their own goodness, but instead by Christ Jesus earned merit as a sinless righteous man.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Now because of a righteous standing by faith God speaks to His children in love, by the Royal law of freedom, feeding them from above and cherishing them as a compassion Heavenly Father, these are not left bastards by the harsh treatment of cruel men under laws for the wicked.

Rom. 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.

***John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 10:28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

How can Christ Jesus sheep never perish, and than a religious group teaches they will perish if they do not follow their rules/teachings? The point of Christ Jesus words in John the Tenth Chapter was to encourage his sheep that the Jewish teachings by the Scribes and Pharisee's against them had no affect on their faith placed in the door of the sheep fold, Christ Jesus.

John 3:15 that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

Two-thousands years removed from Christ Jesus words we have false religion in the name of Christ teaching how his sheep will perish if they go against their religious organizations teachings! When does Christ give his sheep eternal life? Shocking as this is to weed-Christian's having a legal mind, Jesus stated he had given them eternal life than, but how?

Simply put, the hand on your own body shares in the life of the body, correct? In other words, it is not a separated life, it lives by the life of your body. It does not have a separate faith, the hand faith is given the faith of the body, it does not have separated mind, it has the mind of the body. So the question is what type of life does Christ Jesus have now?

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

Christ is imperishable life, God rewarded Christ eternal incorruptible life upon his resurrection, defeating any lies told about Christ Jesus by religions teachers of the law of Moses. God than imputed the Christ righteous life into his body members of his followers upon earth by Holy Spirit making them members of the Spiritual Temple of God, as living/stones members of Christ Jesus life. Did those members receive eternal life of Christ Jesus or not?

John 6:27 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."

John 6:47 Most certainly, I tell you, he who believes in me has eternal life.

Well, what the Jews thought they had killed now lived! Hence, Christ life gave life to many just as he promised would happen to his followers. Subsequently, the teachings changed into being “in Christ, and Christ being in them”. Now they were hated because of the righteous imperishable life in them, and they became the light of the world because they had the light of Christ in them by his imperishable life.

1 John 5:20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Moreover, they became son's of God, because of Christ Jesus life in them and Christ being the Son of God. Legal Christian's; weed Christian's, are still earning life by their legal book the bible, not understanding anything of Spirit and truth because they are not in the truth, that is, in Christ Jesus, as body members of Christ Jesus. Their truth is the bible understood by the fleshly mind, which is a legal mind, set upon works of law.

1 John 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

John10:29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.
10:30 I and the Father are one." 10:31 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him. 10:32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?" 10:33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

The legal mind set upon right and wrongs of the law cannot see good works. In other words, no matter how many good works a person does in a life time if the person broke the laws of the Jews he was evil, nullifying his good works, this is, the truth of a legal minds judgment.

John 3:17 For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

Subsequently, the judges of the law could not see Christ good works, because they were fitting his words into their laws, which was the law of Moses, divinely given them by God/YHWH. Hence, one word for an attorney of the law blinded them to the life of Christ Jesus in performing many good works by God's power, which the word “one”. Such a shocking statement to the legal minded Jews, how shocking, blasphemy!

The Jews forgetting at one time before Adam's sinned all person were one with God, in other words, not separated by sin, hence, able to directly communicate with God. Now Christ speaks of his followers being at one with him. Factually, in the future as members of his spirit body; can their be any closer relationship than being a part of ones body like a hand?

1 Corinthians 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

Here his body members would have one head, his head, the Christ as their head, under God's headship. But each body member could not have a separate headship, that is, under God's headship without Christ headship over them, why?

Because Christ position was to make mankind at-one-ment with God again, by what, atonement. Christ become the father of the human race, replacing the unfaithful Adam fatherhood, Christ became the faithful slave of God upon earth, being rewarded incorruptible life in the exact representation of God's own life, hence, so he can bring back mankind to at- one-ment with God.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

But the legal minded Jews took Christ Jesus statement to the legal extreme of the word one, as equal! Shocking as this is to honest hearted person, it is not too the legal minded person devoid of emotion by the law. The Jews wanted a conviction of Christ Jesus as evil having a demon, thus, they seemingly found it by their own evil hearts of fear, and distrust through a word.

All human must become one first through Christ to have everlasting life with the Father God. No mystery here, but to the fleshly mind which take spiritual words of God translating them into legalistic babel it becomes the greatest mystery! Each person married is one with their mate, seen as one by God, why? Because of headship, Satan denied God's headship as a lie. Many Christian's now find themselves teaching the lie, by the legal mind which reject headship for equality.

***John 10:34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'{Psalm 82:6} 10:35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken), 10:36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'

What is a Judge, he is a god too the people he judges in real terms of life and death. He is not God/YHWH, but he judges for God by using the word of God. Did these lesser god judges break God's righteous law? Well, did they all die as sinners? Yes! Dead, gone, for thousand's of years now! Not one was righteous although they judged others unrighteous by God's righteous laws!

Exodus 7:1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I have made you as God to Pharaoh; and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Were these god-judge's evil according too God's righteous laws, yes? Because sin is evil to a righteous God. Were they lawless, yes, for all sin is lawlessness! How do sinners judge that which is righteous, hence, as good or evil, by God's righteous law given through Moses? Does these lesser god judges, judgments nullify God's righteous law, because they could not keep the law themselves?

1 John 3:4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

Here Christ speaks in legal terms for the evil minded Jews, if the law cannot be nullified by gods-judges whom can only uphold God's righteous laws, and not keep it, how can they judge Christ words a blasphemous when he is the Word of God? Moreover, how can they call him evil, being sent by God as His Son? Only a very wicked legal mind void of emotion by sins law could make such an outlandish judgments. Christ did not say he was God, but the Son of God, like the spirit son's of God. Adam himself being a son of God before his sinning.

Luke 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

Here Christ himself, by his righteous blood would fulfill God's judgment upon the Jews through the law, completing it, and abolishing its righteous judgment upon them giving them his own eternal life by his righteous blood, as a free gift of God's love, so they could become one with their Heavenly Father that which Adam had lost for them.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

Such evil thinking over a legal mind dividing words into judgments so a person can nullify Christ good works from His Father the same tactics Satan himself uses through his system of things by religion, commerce, and government, hence, practiced every day by attorneys of the law in justify evil works as good works.

Much blood has been spelled since Christ Jesus words above over just “a word” in the name of God, as being done for a good works. Many are the judgments of false religion through their god's judges over such words parsing, but none of them have snatch a sheep from God's hands, nor has any sheep been cut off from the master voice in comfort under trial by these legal minded opposer of God's love.

None have be made right by their judgment using God's word, none will stand right with out God's mercy through blood of an innocent victim(s) which God created and gave life too. (First the Jews with animal blood and later the blood of the Christ).

***John10:37 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me. 10:38 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

Shocking the presumptuousness of the fleshly mind in killing those it disagrees with religiously! To kill God's love, to kill the one sinless person since Adam, and not even know it! This is the power of the legal mind. All humans need this warning that murder is done by laws of right and wrong, this is the power of our divorcing human goodness/mercy and love through laws for justice.

Law is powerful tool too the fleshly mind, but why? Because it justifies our conscience, excusing it or accusing it. Was God in Christ Jesus, of course He was by the power of His Holy Spirit, did Christ have the mind of God in Him of course he did. Would Christ followers have the mind of Christ in them, and the life of Christ in them, or course they do and did.

Romans 2:15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)

The Spirit of God is not written in law book on paper of the bible, it is written upon hearts, like Christ Jesus own heart having the love of God written upon it. Judgment of the legal mind puts all its weight upon the written word of God as a legal book, just like these Jews did blinded to the what God's love produced in a human being. Satan used such legal reasoning to deceive Eve into believing the lie about the God of love, whom placed her into a beautiful paradise garden. Her legal mind dismissed all the love of God's own good works in providing her every need for legal fleshly words by Satan causing hate and distrust for God.

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

2 Corinthians 3:7 But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

These Jews could not see all of Christ Jesus good work from God, nor would they see the good works of Christ Jesus being done through his followers because of law. Moreover, shortly there after Christ words here his own followers would fail victim to words of doctrine found in the bible to create a field of legal-minded weed Christian's in building a world wide empire by legal words called Babylon the Great. Yes, they would legally define each word of bible transcribing it with many legal terms to frighten and uphold powerful positions of god-judges over the people. Denying the good works of God giving them the paradise of freedom in Christ Jesus God's love to mankind.

***John 10:39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand. 10:40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed. 10:41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true." 10:42 Many believed in him there.

Many hearts were prepared by John the Baptist to accept the Christ, but all had one thing in common a heart ready for the good works of Christ Jesus, not a legal mind, which would reject the a heart of faith full of love for God. These were Christ sheep the protector and Gate into eternal life with his own Father and himself.

Nothing would be lost, by false religion set upon legislating what God Himself refused to legislate, love! No! God would draw his own in what Adam and Eve failed to see with the wonderful heart God had created in both of them – God's own good works in giving them a beautiful home in paradise. Now the sheep of Christ Jesus would have the hardest test for our sinful flesh that of walking in complete trust in God, rejected by man, and the religious schemes to legislate people into change for power and glory for their own earthly kingdoms. The sheep of God must walk a narrow road into life hated and rejected by Satan system of things, all of it, but the few that were no part of this world Christ Jesus sheep.

They must walk by a spiritual law unseen by fleshly eyes the law of love having no value at all in the eyes of the world and the kingdoms they had built over them by laws that make people obey. Here than Christ gave encouragement too those few that none would be lost, none destroyed, none misplaced, because he would be the true shepherd of them by the unshakable Kingdom of God under the Royal Law of YHWH that will never separated or fail them like false religion always does in bring cruel persecution upon God's children.

Hold the course stay firm in faith/trust that your souls matter far more than anything mankind has to offer you upon this earth. Live in love, walk in faith the treasure of heaven expressed in the fine pearl of Jesus Christ the tree of life.
