Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the sheep hear his voice: Those who are really chosen of God hear and heed the voice of Christ but those who are not Christ’s chosen ones will not heed his discourse, but will listen to the many voices which attract the ears and the hearts of sinful men. The elect of God are known by this mark, that they hear the voice of Christ. Just as you...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. Christ is the great Leader of his people, and they will never go astray so long as they follow him. The sheep of Christ recognize...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, — Christ never drives his sheep, he leads them. As the Eastern shepherd always goes before his sheep, so does the Saviour go before his flock: “He goeth before them,” — Joh_10:4. And the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. Christ’s sheep are marked in various ways. They are...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. Heretics attract their companies, but the faithful followers of Christ never go after them. They cleave to the truth, which is the voice of Christ, and they will not be persuaded by the most marvelous lying wonders, nor by the greatest arrogance,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. No one metaphor can fully describe our glorious Lord, for he is both Shepherd and Door to the sheep, and all else that they need. “O my Saviour!...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto ye, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. They made loud professions of being the true Messias, and some...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Christ is the door just as truly as he is the shepherd, and as he is everything that is needful and good for his people. If I come to Christ, I must come to him by Christ. Any of us who will but enter in by Christ, who is the door of his...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I trust that the first purpose of Christ’s coming has been fulfilled to many of us, for we “have life” through him, but ought we not to be encouraged to hope that we may reach a higher standard of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. Just...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. There is mutual knowledge between the Shepherd and the sheep, and between the Father and the Son.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. Our translators have spoilt this passage by putting a full stop where there should not be one, and by breaking it into two verses. It should run thus: “I am the good Shepherd, and know my...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. No recognition of free-will here. Christ speaks as one who has the hearts of men in his control. He knows...

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice: and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Or, more correctly, “one flock, one Shepherd.” The flock would never be complete without those “other sheep” which the Shepherd says he must bring into the fold, and which he says shall hear his...
