The Good Shepherd                                    John 10:1-42 [1] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. [2] But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. [4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. [6] This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. [7] Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. [8] All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. [9] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. [10] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. [11] I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. [12] But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. [13] The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. [14] I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. [15] As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. [16] And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. [17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. [18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. [19] There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. [20] And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? [21] Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? [22] And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. [23] And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. [24] Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. [25] Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. [26] But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one. [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. [32] Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? [33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. [34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? [35] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; [36] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? [37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. [38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. [39] Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, [40] And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. [41] And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. [42] And many believed on him there.

3. The Feast of the Dedication in Application (John 10:22And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
   See All...) - Though Hanukkah is a Jewish feast, the New Testament teaches that Jesus honored this feast with His attendance.
1. History
1. In 165BC, Judah Maccabee led a force of Jewish fighters who took the city of Jerusalem from under the control of the Syrian ruler Antiochus Epiphanes.  Antiochus had tried to force the Jews to leave their customs and cease to obey the Mosaic Law in order to conform to the Greek society of the day.  Many of those Jews who opposed him were killed.  In order to destroy the Jewish religious practice, Antiochus desecrated the temple in Jerusalem by sacrificing pigs on its altar.  He then made it into a house of worship to the Greek god Zeus.
2. After Antiochus desecrated the temple, a priest named Mattathias and his five sons rose up in rebellion against him.  Their family name was Hasmonean but they came to be known as the Maccabees, a name that means Hammer.  They certainly were used as the Hammer of God against Antiochus.  Though poorly armed and greatly outnumbered, they won battle after battle against the superior Syrian forces.  Though Mattathias did not live to see it, shortly after his death his son Judas entered the city as a victor.
3. Judas spent several months cleansing the temple and its environs.  He then proclaimed the 25th of Kislev as the beginning of a holy feast given to the rededication of the temple for the priestly service.  This date marked the third anniversary from the time the temple was originally desecrated by Antiochus.  Though the calendars do not match perfectly, the eight day feast of Hanukkah generally corresponds to the Christmas season.
2. Celebration
1. Hanukkah is celebrated each year by the eating of special foods like the potato pancakes called latkes and other fried foods.  (They are fried in oil because of the miracle of the oil told below.)  Children play a game with a holiday top called a dreidel.  Also, the people give gifts to one another.  This last part of the celebration used to be a minor part.  However, many Jewish parents now feel that they must compete with Christmas so they often give their children gifts for each of the eight days of the feast.
2. But probably the most characteristic tradition of the feast is the lighting of the Hanukkah candles.  This is why Hanukkah is also called the Festival of Lights.  Tradition teaches that when the priests went in to light the menorah (or candlestick), they only found one unopened and uncontaminated cruse of oil that could be used for the lighting of the lamps.  And, it only had enough oil for one day.  But, when they filled the lamps and lit them, the oil miraculously lasted for eight days.  The lighting of the eight Hanukkah candles commemorates this miracle.
3. Application
1. First: Hanukkah means “dedication.”  Its initial purpose was to rededicate the temple that had sat filthy and had been used for the worship of false gods. This feast celebrated the fact that once again the house of God was cleansed and sanctified for His use alone.  In like manner, we who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Saviour should cleanse our lives and set them apart for God’s use.  We should dedicate ourselves to God and live only for Him.
2. Second: The two great Jewish teachers, Shammai and Hillel, argued over how the candles should be lit.  Shammai taught that all the candles should be lit the first night of the feast and that one should be snuffed out each succeeding evening.  Hillel, whose view won out, said that one candle should be lit each night until all of the candles were lit at the end of the eight days.  His argument was that we should be increasing in holiness and not decreasing.  We should still be increasing and not decreasing; we should grow in the grace of the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
3. Third: According to Jewish tradition, the candles are placed in the Hanukkah candlestick (when facing it) from right to left.  However, the candles are lit from left to right.  This way, the candles that are set in place last are lit first and the candles that are set in place first are lit last.  This reminds us of the saying of Jesus that “the last shall be first, and the first last.”  He is teaching that those who seem to be the most important may not have an equal place in heaven.  And, those who seem to be lowly here may have a much higher position in the world to come.
4. Fourth: In a similar teaching, both men and women are to have part in the lighting of the candles.  This is not true in many of the Jewish ceremonies.  Usually, men do most of that which is visible.  However, Hanukkah teaches that both men and women had an equal part in the deliverance of the Jewish people in the time of the Maccabees.  Many stories of the heroism of women are told.  Also, under the teaching of the New Testament, women often take a back seat in the public ministry.  However, the apostle Paul makes it clear that all, including male and female, are one in Christ Jesus.  Different roles do not indicate different standings with God.
5. Fifth: Each family is to place its Hanukkah candlestick so that it is visible to the outside—whether in a window or in a special place near a door.  So, Jesus tells us not to light our candle and put it under a bushel.  We should put it on a candlestick and let it shine as a testimony to all men.  Also, each candle is to be lit right after sundown.  As this world gets darker and darker, so we should be lights in the world.
6. Sixth:  The Hanukkah menorah is purposely designed to be different from the temple menorah.  The temple menorah has seven lamps.  The Hanukkah candlestick has eight (plus the ninth, which will be explained in the next paragraph).  Also, it is actually called the hanukkia in order to distinguish it from the holy menorah.  It is like the temple menorah but it is not to be confused with it.  So, we are to be like Christ.  He is our example in every aspect of the Christian life.  We are to be recreated in His image.  However, we should never get the idea that we are identical to Him.  We will always come far short of His glory.  He will always be “the first” and “the last.”
7. Seventh: Finally, the Hanukkah menorah has a ninth candle called the shamash which means “servant.”  None of the eight candles are ever to be used to light any of the other eight candles.  All of them are to be lit from the ninth, or servant, candle.  God the Father calls Jesus Christ “my servant, whom I have chosen.”  Jesus came not to be ministered unto but to minister.  We cannot find our light in the light of another believer.  Each of us must have our candle lit by the light of all mankind, by Jesus Christ Himself.  He is truly the Servant and the sole source of our light. Do you know the Light of the world?  Are you lit by His flame?  Are you showing your candle to the outside world for all to see?  There is so much for us to learn from this feast attended by Christ—the Feast of Dedication.
4. Identified Himself with the Father (John 10:26-30 [26] But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. [27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

5. AN ATTEMPT TO KILL JESUS (John 10:31-42 [31] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. [32] Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? [33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. [34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? [35] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; [36] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? [37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. [38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. [39] Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, [40] And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. [41] And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. [42] And many believed on him there.

2. Gave Answer to His Accusers (John 10:34-36 [34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

[4] Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. [5] They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

4. There are many that are called gods (1 Corinthians 8:4-6 [4] As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. [5] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) [6] But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

5. The title, god, carries the idea of one who is exalted and powerful. Only God has all power and is fully exalted.

[9] All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. [10] For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

1. Sanctified by the Father
1. To sanctify is to set apart as holy for a special purpose.
2. Christ will sanctify Himself so that those who believe in Him may be sanctified (John 17:19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
   See All...).
3. Hebrews 10:29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
   See All... (though controversial) is probably referring to Jesus Christ as the Son of God when it speaks of “the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified.” If this is the case, then Jesus was sanctified, or set apart as holy, by His shed blood. He was sanctified in this manner so that He might sanctify others (John 17:19And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
   See All...; Hebrews 2:11For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

4. This would go further to explain why Jesus did not allow Mary to touch Him until He had ascended to the Father (John 20:16-17 [16] Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. [17] Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
   See All...). Jesus still had to make the heavenly offering of His own blood (Hebrews 9:11-12 [11] But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; [12] Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

2. Sent into the world – the teaching that Jesus Christ is the One sent from the Father into the world is a major theme of the book of John.
4. The refutation of the charge of blasphemy (John 10:36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

1. Jesus claimed to be the Son of God.
2. In the light of the preceding argument, this could not be called blasphemy.
5. The purpose of the argument
1. Jesus was not denying that He was God.
2. He was only answering their charge of blasphemy in arguments that they could understand.
3. Escaped the Hands of His Accusers (John 10:37-39 [37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
