我的好牧人
约翰福音十章1至11节
1我实实在在的告诉你们，人进羊圈，不从门进去，倒从别处爬进去，那人就是贼，就是强盗。
2从门进去的，才是羊的牧人。
3看门的就给他开门；羊也听他的声音。他按著名叫自己的羊，把羊领出来。
4既放出自己的羊来，就在前头走，羊也跟着他，因为认得他的声音。
5羊不跟着生人；因为不认得他的声音。必要逃跑。
6耶稣将这比喻告诉他们，但他们不明白所说的是甚么意思。
7所以，耶稣又对他们说：我实实在在的告诉你们，我就是羊的门。
8凡在我以先来的都是贼，是强盗；羊却不听他们。
9我就是门；凡从我进来的，必然得救，并且出入得草吃。
10盗贼来，无非要偷窃，杀害，毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊（或作：人）得生命，并且得的更丰盛。
11我是好牧人；好牧人为羊舍命。
信息分享
第35节告诉我们，当耶稣知道他被赶出会堂之后，便主动去找他，向他表明自己的身分。那人似乎是到这刻才真正认识基督的。
你可以想像耶稣跟他谈话的情景吗？祂是否一手搭着他的肩膀？向他大致说了以下的一番话：「他们把你赶出来，使你觉得自己是个没有价值、受人唾弃的人，是吗？不要为此烦恼；当知道我就是门，凡从我这里进来的，就必得救。」这就是昔日的那幅图画吗？
接着，耶稣进一步用「好牧人」来形容自己。牧人究竟要做甚么工作？你可以列出来吗？请再读这段经文一遍，然后再翻到第14至16节，看看我们这位好牧人会为祂的羊做些甚么。你将会发现，这位好牧人甚至会为羊舍命，所以，再没有任何事情是祂做不到的了。
祂个别地认识我们，因此，祂便可以个别地引导我们。在祂的心目中，我们并不是一个编号；祂晓得我们各人的名字。祂明白我们的需要，且恒常地看顾着我们。第11节告诉我们，这位好牧人会为羊舍命；这不单表示祂曾经在加略山上为我们舍命，而且，祂更是每天地看顾我们，甘愿随时为我们而舍弃自己。这不是很奇妙吗？惟愿你认识这位爱你的好牧人。
反思：
你有没有留心聆听牧人的声音呢？
OUR OWN GOOD SHEPHERD
John 10: 1 – 11
1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
Message
Verse 35 tells us that when Jesus heard about this, he went and found the man and showed himself to him. It seems the man had not actually seen Christ up till then.
Can you picture Jesus talking to him? Did Christ put his arm around the man? Did he say something like this: ‘They have put you out. They have made you feel unwanted. Don’t worry about that. I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.' Was that how it all happened?
Jesus then went on to talk further about himself as the Good Shepherd. Can you make a list of all the things the Shepherd does? Read the verses again and also verses 14–16 and see all that the Good Shepherd does for his sheep. You will see that there is nothing the Shepherd would not do for us.
He guides us; he knows us personally. We are not just a number to him. He knows our names. He sees our needs and he constantly cares for us. Verse 11 tells us that the Good Shepherd continually gives his life for the sheep. This means that he not only gave his life for us once on Calvary’s cross but that he is day-by-day spending his time caring for us. Isn’t that wonderful? That is own personal loving Good Shepherd.
A QUESTION:
Do you listen for the Shepherd’s voice?
