"Who Are the Good Shepherd’s Sheep?"

Send us a text

(John 10:22-30)

The sheep are people. It’s one thing to think about the Good Shepherd and to read Psalm 23 where it tells us what He is to His sheep and what He does for these people who are so special to Him. How wonderful He is! We know who this Good Shepherd is. Jesus plainly declares in John 10 that He is that Good Shepherd. But the question remains – who are the sheep? Am I one of His sheep? And how may I know and be assured that I’m one of the sheep that He’s the Good Shepherd of? Do I really belong to Him and how can I know that I do?

Jesus proceeds to tell us; He tests our metal, as it were. Am I a nugget of fool’s gold? Am I a tare among the wheat? Am I a goat among the sheep? Jesus doesn’t separate the wheat from the tares and the sheep from the goats until the final judgment. I want to know before them if I am one of His sheep. There are many at that judgment who will be shocked when they hear Christ say, “Depart from Me; I never knew you.” And they will be cast into everlasting torment. I want to make my calling and election sure. He says to some of these people in this very passage, “You are not of My sheep.”
