Pay attention now—the Good Shepherd, Jesus, don’t play when it comes to His sheep, and He expects His under-shepherds to do the same. The message here isn't complicated, friends, but it is often ignored. "Verily, verily," the Lord warns, "He that don't come by the door is a thief and a robber." And let’s not sugarcoat it: if you don’t come by the right path—if you aren’t born again, if you aren’t filled with the Spirit—you’re not part of His fold, plain and simple. John 10 is a clarion call to cut through the fog of false teachings and misconceptions around salvation. It's time to stop making excuses and get right with God, for real. Quit trying to climb some other way. Get through the door, which is Christ Himself, for the Kingdom of God is at stake.

The world is full of hirelings, those who care more for money and position than they do for the souls entrusted to them. They scatter the sheep when trouble comes because they're in it for themselves. If you’re under one of these sweet-talking thieves, run! They won’t teach you about being born of water and Spirit because they’re too busy piling up riches. But the Good Shepherd—He laid down His life and calls each of us His own. This ain’t about religion or rituals; it’s about entering into true, abundant life. And if these words cut, remember it’s meant to heal. Salvation isn’t a suggestion—it’s the only way to avoid spiritual death. Be born again, get right, and hear the Shepherd's voice, because He’s coming back for His sheep.
