John 10:5. And a stranger will they not follow, -
There are strangers constantly coming into our different churches. We know they are strangers, for they preach strange doctrines, and do not keep to the old paths. Those that are not Christ’s sheep follow them directly. "Here is a very clever man," say they, and off they go after him; but of God’s elect it is written, "A stranger will they not follow," -
John 10:5. But will flee from him: -
They are frightened at the very sight of him. They cannot tell what deadly pasture he is preparing for them, so they "flee from him," -
John 10:5. For they know not the voice of strangers.
They know the voice of their Shepherd, but they know not the voice of strangers, so they flee from them.
