Jesus Has His Sheep - John 10: 1-42

Jesus speaks here of a door
that was only open to His sheep
for the shepherd leads them
Jesus said I'm the door of my sheep

This good shepherd loves His sheep
This shepherd came to give them life
the hireling cares not for the sheep
but rather let the wolf bring strife

Jesus claims He lays down his life
but has the power to take it up again
the Jews had doubts about Jesus
but Jesus spoke the truth for their gain

Jesus declared My sheep hear my voice
they follow me for I know them
for they shall never ever perish
given eternal life to all His gems

The saviour challenged the Jews
my Father works I do, why not believe?
for the Father is in me and I in Him
many believed in Him, so did Jesus receive

John 10: 1-42 (ESV)

Jesus God and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and God Is in Jesus and Jesus in God, they re one. When Elias and I began going out again after 23 year and after a divorce each and a wonderful son each, Elias said, I am not going to lose you this time, for we are one, and always should have been one - we were married 6 months later and will celebrate 24 years of marriage this year.. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
