I Am the Good Shepherd

In John 10 one through 10, Jesus says repeatedly that the people before him were thieves and robbers or anyone who doesn't enter the sheep pen by the gate but climbs in some other way is a thief and a robber. What Jesus is warning against are false preachers and false teachers that would lead people astray. That our standing with God cannot and does not depend solely on us, but it depends solely on the finished work of Jesus.
