John 10:11-18

OTHER SHEEP WILL LISTEN TO ME

“ I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also ”. John 10:16

George Whitefield said, “My ambition in life is to win as many as possible”. This is a reflection of a passionate soul winner. He exemplified the Spirit of Christ who wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. As a good shepherd, Jesus does not only want to feed the sheep that are already in the sheepfold, but He is willing to bring in those who are also far away. He wants them to be cared for and be protected from wolves.
We should not be like the Jews who felt the Gentiles must be perpetually kept away from the commonwealth of Israel. All human beings are entitled to God’s gift of salvation. You must therefore be concerned about people in your neighbourhood who are yet to know Jesus, and be ready to share the good news with them. And you must not just bring them to Jesus, but see to it that they are established in the faith and assume their sonship status in the spiritual family. Have you also taken your rightful place in God” are you enjoying the benefits of sonship to the fullest? Then endeavor to share it with others today.
