Why You Should Abandon False Shepherds and Turn to the Great Shepherd, Part 9

TEXT: John 10:14-16

William Barclay said, "The unity of the church comes from the fact, not that all the sheep are forced into one fold, but that they all hear, answer and obey one shepherd. It is not ecclesiastical unity; it is a unity of loyalty to Jesus Christ."

In this chapter, Jesus is speaking to a Jewish audience. Of course, there are many who do not believe on Him. But those who do believe on Him see Him as the Messiah of the Jews -- one who came to save, rescue, and help the Jewish race exclusively. In the verse we are considering today, Jesus dispels this notion.
