Wat does John 10 vs 10 say in the Bible.
Answers
Answer:
John 10:10, KJV: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.
Explanation:
Jesus has made two analogies about His ministry using a topic very familiar to His listeners: shepherding. The first relied on the idea that sheep instinctively listened only to the voice of their particular shepherd, and no other. This, Jesus implies, is why His religious critics reject Him: they are part of another flock, one ultimately owned by the Devil (John 10:1–6; 8:42–47). In the second application, Jesus claims to be "the door," meaning the single narrow opening in sheep pens of that era. This was the sole means by which sheep were able to come and go. Jesus' detractors, then, are like thieves and robbers who are trying to take sheep without using that door.
Answer:
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy.
Jesus Christ is elaborating on the imagery of a thief, his rival as the thief of souls. The thief comes with no eternal reality. He comes for no other purpose than to steal the sheep. He will not take them to a pasture to graze but will sacrifice them to his selfish ends, His only purpose is to destroy and kill.
