"Jesus said to them: 'Unbind him, and let him go!'" Jn 11:44 "And death shall have no dominion," is the refrain from one of Dylan Thomas' poems, but--oh!--it's the wishful, desperate refrain of all the human race! Name even one culture that doesn't cry out against this tyranny and its bondage! Praise God! That tyranny and bondage brought our Savior into the world! Let's take a look...

"I give them eternal life and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of my hand." Jn 10: 28 Last week we learned about the Shepherd's voice. This wee? The Shepherd's 'grip'! And praise God! What a comfort it is, because you are safe in that grip, dear lamb of the flock! Yes, safe forever!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"Other sheep have I, which are not of this fold. Them also must I bring and they will hear my voice." Jn 10: 16 Let's face it: we live in a world that is noisy with voices: the voices of the atheists, the voices of the skeptics, the voices of the reprobates, the voices of bigotry, greed, self-indulgence and temptation. How on earth will we ever make its through this world? Praise God! By tuning in to the Shepherd's voice. That's how!

"I am the Door If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved." Jn 10:9 "Such ones, for their bellies' sake, creep and intrude and climb into the fold." Good ol' Milton! Never was known to mince his words! (Lycidas line 114). And this morning--more sternly yet!--Jesus warns us: not everyone within the 'fold' has come with good intentions. Only those who used the Door!  Message by Pastor Rod Schorr, Calvary Chapel Old Towne, Orange, CA From his series: The Gospel of John: Truth for a World in the Grip of a Lie

"...but now you say 'We see', therefore your sin remains." Jn 9: 41 We come to the wonderful conclusion of this incident with the man born blind. Have you come to acknowledge that you were 'born blind' to? Oh then there's hope for you! It is the people who think they 'see'--that is: who think they're 'just fine'--who are in trouble.
