LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 21 Lcmoo aublart* and Scrlptura te»ta ■*- larlad and copyrighted by International Council of Rellgioux Kducatlvn: uMd by pormi.aon THE GOOD SHEPHERD LESSON TEXT-John 10 711 MEMORY SELECTION-! am th* good ahepherd: th* good shepherd glveth tala Ufa Mr the ’.heap —John 10 11. An open door! How inviting! Jearn had juat been talking to the man once blind (John •) who had seen the temple door closed against him. It abut him out from all the aacred traditions of his people, but it turned him to Jesus, who presents himself in our lesson as ' the door of the sheep.'• I. The Boor Os the Nheep (vv. 710>. The preceding verses of chapter 10 are important, for they identify Jesus as the true Shepherd. He speaks of his people as his sheep. Flocks were sometimes kept in the field at night, as was the case on the night when Jesus was born in Bethlehem But ordinarily thev were brought into a sheepfold, where many flocks gathered for protection. A shepherd was on guard at the door. Thieves would climb the wall to steal sheep, but the true shepherds, when they came in the morning to lead forth their flocks, entered by the door. They called out their own flock by name. It is said that only sick sheep will follow a stranger, which may explain why so many false Isms of our day appeal to the sick and lead them away from the Good Shepherd. De you know his blessed voice? Have you responded to his call? Will you follow him’ Decide now. Consider the beautiful figure us the shepherd as the door of the sheepfold. When the sheep enter the fold to rest, he is the door. When they •re ready to go out to feed in green pastures again, he is the door. Note that they go in and out Belonging to Christ is not bondage If any man enter in by Christ, the Door, he is free to go in and out. to find pasture, to live for and to serve him. "The Door"—what a striking figure! It is a means of entry, the only way in. Every door has two sides and the side we are on determines whether we are inside or outside—saved or lost. Children often sing: "One Door and only one, And yet its sides are two— Inside and outside: On which side are you”’ Then repeating the two first lines comes the direct testimony and question.

"I am on the intide; On which tide are you?" JI. The Keeper es the Sheep <W. 11-13) We think of theep at peacefully grazing on the hilltide—an idyllic picture in the summer sunshine. But there were dangers to meet. It it ao with Christa theep too. and then he it there to keep them. The wolves mme out at the shadows gather They come to kill end to scatter. Where then it the shepherd ' If he is only a hireling, serving for what may "be in it" for him. he will flee. How perfectly this pictures religious leaders, who. in spite of their swelling words end ingratiating manners, desert the flock in the hour of adversity. Fair-weather friends •re they, who disappear when darkness and danger appear. In the darkest hour Jesus is nearest at hand He never fails. He has no fear, for has he not tasted the bitter death of Cavalry's tree for you and me? He is the Good Fhepherd He gave his life for the sheep. Those who have put their trust tn him shall never be put to ghame. til. The Saviour st the Rbeep <vv 14-13* We laid down hie life for the sheep Ah. yes, it is all too true that evil men laid wicked hands on him and crucified him. Their guilt is awful. But it ir < -'er from Scripture that xwdff the mtur had come for Jesus to be made sin for the redemption of men. they could not touch him tree Luke 4:2b. 30; John g;3b). When the time came. Christ laid down his life in accord with the determinate counsel and foreknowledge at God" <AcuT:23). He died for not as a martyr to a cause, •r the victim of an accident or miscarriage of justice, but willingly, •nd for the glory of God Yes. he died for us, but be also died for every lost soul who win hear his voice. There are "other sheep about whom the Lord is deeply concerned Are we? Re “murt bring’ them-but reBrnffthF GM works through yielded bebever*—through men and women We oum* to Be eager mstruments m
