Haw Were they amtnitedT '’Tho fold wad I walled encloaure open to the sky. WHk a solid door, which was rloeoly barred at nlpht by the doorkeeper, and opened by him In tho morning, when the shepherds came to claim their aheep. which they had left In prevtoua evening. In order to lead out to pasture.”—Century Bible. The keeper, or “porter.” would know that anyone found climbing In orer tbt wall waa "a thief (a sneak thief), or ‘a robber" (a more rlolent rascal.) The Twofold Interpretation of the Parable.—Va. 7-4*. What double analogy did Christ draw from tho pa.-ahle? He waa the Door (▼. 7) and the Shepherd <v U). Why did ho run risk of confusing his hearers? Bee: truth Is so many-sided, and Christ :n*ans so much to men. that many rompariaons are needed to picture M all. First Analogy: Christ, the Door (vs 7-9) How to Christ like tho door of a fold? Through him atom men enter tnto tho peace and safety that a fold Implies—safety from the ravening beasts of sin. peace in the consciousness of safety. Through the di-or. too. they go out <v. 9) Into the ! nature."

Ibe rh -op. rathfr than of the fold, his church. He to the door of both. Who were those that came before Christ, the thieves and robbers, whom the sheep did not hear? Not the prophets, who humbly pointed forward to Christ, but tho Jewish leaders the lime Just before Christ, and especially the Pharisees. They had laid many heavy burdens upon the people, who tmd been compelled to obey the severe requlreroenta-of formal rwllcli but their hearts never yielded to th« false leaders, "the sheep did not b« Second ^Analogy: Christ, the Sbepbenh (vi. 10-13. **-S0.) As opposed the •Pharisees' wrong way of entering the Kingdom. Christ was the Door; bat as opposed to the ehsrae ter of the Chariseea. he waa the Shepherd. "As mediator between God and man; he U the Door; as prophet or teacher, he la the Good Shepherd."— James M- Macdonald. D. D. This It s frequent metaphor of the Old Testament. applied to God and to God's honored servants (Nam. *7: 1M1; Psa. **; 80: 1; laa. 40; U; Jer.. *8: 1-4: Exck. *4: 1U«: lech 11: 4-17.) Homer often speaks of his kings and leaders as shepherds; see alto Plato’s Republic. Book I. "The figure has Impressed Itself deeply of Christendom, and b In the art and literature of tbs churches. It to still the emblem of the Christian ministry, from the office of the bishop, with his pastoral staC. to that of the village preacher, who to known as paator."—Century Bible.
