John chapter 10 verse 16

Jesus said, and I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also and they will listen to

my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. Oh, this is an awesome verse in the middle of an awesome

chapter and not that there are chapters of the Bible that are not awesome but this picture in

John 10 of Jesus as a good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep, who when a thief comes to steal and kill and destroy,

Jesus comes so we might have life and have it abundantly, John Chapter 10,

verse 10. Jesus has come to save us from our sins,

to satisfy us, to care for us, to protect us,

to shepherd our souls.

That's the imagery we see all over this chapter and then you get to verse 16 and Jesus says that he has other sheep that are not of this fold that he will bring in to the flock with him as shepherd. So if you were to go today to the

tomb of David Livingston.

Let me give you a little background in case you don't know that name.

David Livingston was a missionary to Africa

who went there for the spread of the gospel, all kinds of things we could talk about

that maybe were good methods or not so good methods and good things and things to learn from his life in a variety of different ways.

But he gave his heart going into hard places in Africa in such a way that when he died,

before they sent his body back to England

where he had come from, they took his heart out and buried it there because

that's where he had given his life.

So if you were to go to his gravestone back in England at Westminster Abbey, you would see

on that gravestone the words of John 1016.
