Other Sheep

Text: John 10: 16

OTHER SHEEP

Jesus must have surprised all His hearers when He went on to speak of “other sheep”.

“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.”

John 10:16

1. “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold”

a. Israel in the days of Jesus
i. Despised Samaritans.
ii. They also despised Gentiles.
b. In the plan of Jesus
i. They are simply “other sheep”.
ii. They were not presently in the fold yet.

2. “Them also I must bring”

a. The Samaritans were brought into the fold by Philip the evangelist (Acts 8).
b. God raised Paul to become an apostle to the Gentiles (Acts 13:46-47).
c. They too were brought into the same sheepfold of the good Shepherd.

3. “And they will hear My voice”

a. Both Samaritans and Gentiles would come to faith in Jesus too.
b. And they too would hear His voice.
c. And He would become “that great Shepherd of the sheep” (Hebrews 13:20).

4. “And there will be one flock and one shepherd”

a. This is a beautiful teaching of Jesus.
b. This is in fact a fulfilment of a prophecy in the Book of Ezekiel.

“I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them- My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.”

Ezekiel 34:23

5. A plan established by God

a. “My servant David”
This is a Messianic kingly title. It describes Jesus as “The Son of David”.
b. Jesus is the appointed Shepherd.
c. He will feed His sheep faithfully and they would never be in want.

经文：约翰福音10：16

另外的羊

当耶稣继续说“我另外有羊”时，听众肯定感到惊讶。

“我另外有羊，不是这圈里的，我必须领它们来，它们也要听我的声音，并且要合成一群，归一个牧人了。”

《约翰福音10：16》

1. “我另外有羊，不是这圈里的”

a. 耶稣时代的以色列
i. 他们鄙视撒马利亚人
ii. 也鄙视外邦人
b. 在耶稣的计划中
i. 他们是“另外的羊”
ii. 他们目前还不是在羊圈里

2. “我必须领它们来”

a. 撒马利亚人是因腓利把福音传给他们后才带进羊圈里的《使徒行传8》
b. 上帝特选保罗成为外邦人的使徒 《使徒行传13：46-47》
c. 他们也被领进了好牧人的羊圈里　

3. “他们会听到我的声音”

a. 撒马利亚人和外邦人都能来信靠耶稣
b. 他们也会听到祂的声音
c. 耶稣就会成为“群羊的大牧人”　《希伯来书 13：20》

4. “并且要合成一群，归一个牧人了”

a. 这是耶稣美好的教训
b. 这实际上是实现了以西结书中的预言　

“我必立一牧人照管他们，牧养他们，就是我的仆人大卫。他必牧养他们，做他们的牧人。”

《以西结书34：23》

5. 上帝建立的计划

a. “我的仆人大卫”
这是一个弥赛亚王的头衔。这形容耶稣为“大卫之子”。
b. 耶稣是上帝必立的牧人
c. 祂必忠心地牧养，羊群永不缺乏
