Ideas about the Kingdom of the Heavens around us and the unity of believers in Christ within it
In John 10, Jesus speaks to the Pharisees about the good shepherd following the healing of a blind man in John 9. The healed man affirms faith in Jesus, resulting in his expulsion from the synagogue. Jesus criticizes the Pharisees’ spiritual blindness, contrasting true shepherds with thieves. My sheep can see this. Can you? The first in a series.
En Juan 9 y 10, Jesús, tras sanar a un ciego y confrontar a los fariseos, les acusa de hipocresía espiritual al afirmar que pueden ver mientras rechazan la verdad. Jesús usa la parábola del buen pastor para contrastar entre el verdadero guía y los falsos líderes, cuestionando la legitimidad de los fariseos. La primera parte de ls serie.
I’m like a sheep. I need a shepherd who has already given his life to rescue me from wolves. I need the good shepherd, Jesus, as my shepherd. Because Jesus is my shepherd, I know that if I listen to him, I will hear his voice calling me. I can be sure that I am his because I recognize his voice.

Soy como oveja. Necesito un pastor que ya ha dado su vida para rescatarme de los lobos. Necesito al buen pastor, Jesús, como mi pastor. Debido a que Jesús es mi pastor, sé que si lo escucho, escucharé su voz llamándome. Puedo estar seguro de que soy suyo porque reconozco su voz.
