Good insight on what we are called to do. Makes good sense to me. I woke up today with this thought on my mind.
“I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” John 10:10
So I did a little digging and more thinking.
I think to understand John 10:10, we need to look at Jesus’ analogy of sheep, shepherds, and thieves. In the analogy, God’s people are the sheep, Jesus is the shepherd, and the thieves are any who approach the sheep illegitimately and with ill-intent.
God’s people are compared to sheep from old bible days till now. So in whatever time or place God’s people are called sheep and we need someone to care for us—to lead them to food "God's Word" and to rescue us in case we wander away, and to defend us from wolves and thieves.
As for the thieves, their ranks include anyone who approaches God’s people without love. The thief doesn’t enter by the door, with the gate-keeper’s approval, but “climbs in by another way”. He hops the fence because he doesn’t have the right to be there, and he comes to do harm. He doesn’t care for the sheep. His purpose is to “steal and kill and destroy”.
But we have the “Good Shepherd”. The thief comes to take life, the good shepherd stands ready to give it. But it is not the sheep’s lives that he gives. He gives his own: “the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” The good shepherd takes upon himself the harm that the thief intends for the sheep, and he neutralizes the threat. The sheep are no longer in danger of being killed, robbed, or destroyed. And the shepherd does more than that. He not only protects and sustains their current life; he makes it abound.
Yes i noticed you highlighted the part about Where i said
SEEING JESUS came to give LIFE and not to Destroy . BINGO .
But let us know this also . ONE day in an hour known to man
HE will tread the winepress of GOD against all who denied HIM .
AND seeing HE did not come to destory but to save
THEN let us know and understand HE would never have pointed to another gospel which is no gospel .
HE would never have preached a message of love
that entailed it was NOT necessary to beleive on HIM
NOR would he preach a love that accepts sins . SEEING HE is not the minstir of sin
but rather came to set us free FROM SIN .
JESUS came to save
but i know of another and that one does not come to save , it does not come
to set the captives free . IT cometh it its own name but can use the name of a jesus it preaches
in order to keep the people trapped in a lie , in bondage , in death .
Now why would it do this one might ask .
WHY would it tell a gay , OH ITS OKAY , GOD IS FINE with your sin , JESUS accepts your sin .
TO KEEP IT TRAPPED IN BONDAGE and following another jesus IT created
WHY would it do this with the gospel you might ask .
BECAUSE go to garden in gensis .
WHAT IS THE ONE THING the serpent desired to come upon man . DEATH .
GOD SENT THE SON so that all who do beleive could have ETERNAL LIFE
so of course its going to use its same line again to say
NAY surely they wont perish if they beleive not . BUT THEY WILL . JUST LIKE they died
when they ate of the wrong tree . satan is a liar . HE DOES NOT LOVE
but he does know how to sound very loving to the lost . as though he cares for them
and he accepts them , YET TRULY HE DESIRES ONLY their death . NOT GOD , HE DEISRES LIFE
so as HE corrects , he warned , the prophets warned , CHRIST warned
the apostels later warned , we too must warn and remind all OF THE ONLY NAME who saves
and that one must believe and that HE Is no minstir of any sin .
