This is followed by their unbelief in His proper glory, as much as in His sufferings. It is strictly true that the sheep know and understand the eastern shepherd's voice; and that they will never answer to the voice of a stranger. She has a fantastic memory, and never uses a prompter on stage. The great Shepherd of the sheep takes wonderful care of the flock and of all that belong to it. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. They value not the sheep, are unconcerned in the souls of others; their business is to be their brothers' lords, not their brothers' keepers or helpers; they seek their own things, and do not, like Timothy, naturally care for the state of souls. He might even be a man who had taken to the hills because the town was too hot to hold him. Whenever he puts his own sheep out, he walks in front of them; and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. The origin of the Festival of the Dedication lies in one of the greatest times of ordeal and heroism in Jewish history. Then our Lord turns, from what they should even then have known in and from His person and words and works, to another thing which could not then be known. In Palestine the shepherd went in front and the sheep followed. This is a different comparison; for Christ, having hitherto called himself the door, and declared that they who bring sheep to this door are true shepherds, now assumes the character of a shepherd, and indeed affirms that he is the only shepherd Indeed, there is no other to whom this honor and title strictly belongs; for, as to all the faithful shepherds of the Church, it is he who raises them up, endows them with the necessary qualifications, governs them by his Spirit, and works by them; and therefore they do not prevent him from being the only Governor of his Church, or from holding the distinction of being the only Shepherd For, though he employs their ministry, still he does not cease to fulfill and discharge the office of a shepherd by his own power; and they are masters and teachers in such a manner as not to interfere with his authority as a Master. 3. Somewhat similarly in John 8:1-59 He is the rejected Word, who confesses Himself (when most scorned and men are ready to stone Him) to be the everlasting God Himself. 1. He is the shepherd who will risk his life to seek and to save the one straying sheep ( Matthew 18:12; Luke 15:4). For, let me ask, what is the salient divine principle which runs through our Lord's conduct and language when the scribes and Pharisees confront Him with the woman taken in adultery? He was of course not referring to the great succession of the prophets and the heroes, but to these adventurers who were continually arising in Palestine and promising that, if people would follow them, they would bring in the golden age. Jesus said, "I'm the way, I'm the door. His disciples are his little flock ( Luke 12:32). How exactly the counterpart of an Israelite's objections to this day! In the face of total rejection, and in every point of view, both as the expression of God in the world, and of His working the works of grace in the world, the result was plain. While the Lord, then, intimates to them that it had a mystical meaning, not apparent on the face of it, nothing could be more obvious than the love or the humility of Christ. This fold is well fortified, for God himself is as a wall of fire about it,Zechariah 2:5. He said, "Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit," and it says, "and He dismissed His Spirit." Did he think God's love recompence sufficient for all his services and sufferings, and shall we think it too little for ours, and court the smiles of the world to make it up? The group of three women were convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for being hooligans, and inciting religious hatred.[32]. While on a visit to Hollywood, she met Elvis Presley, and in Las Vegas, Nevada sang with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. The hireling flees, because he is a hireling, and doesn't really care for the sheep ( John 10:13 ). But there were others who beyond a doubt asked the question as a trap. The book was seen as a final chapter in her career and Stark was also exhausted and overweight by this time. But here Jesus is saying that there will come a day when all men will know him as their shepherd. They had thus repeatedly sought to kill Him, and He abandons them for the place in which John first baptized. *The fact that is found here twice, and here only in John, is of no weight against the genuineness of the passage. 14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. And I encouraged him not to accept it. The truth meant is the key to the outer vehicle of it just the reverse of man's knowledge. In the picture of Jesus as the Good Shepherd there is loveliness as well as strength and power. [5] In a short film called La guerre des Piaf (War of the Sparrows), Mathieu and Lemaire are interviewed separately, both the same diminutive height. This refers to all those that had the character of shepherds in Israel, whether magistrates or ministers, that exercised their office without any regard to the Messiah, or any other expectations of him than what were suggested by their own carnal interest. Both Jews and Gentiles, upon their turning to the faith of Christ, shall be incorporated in one church, be joint and equal sharers in the privileges of it, without distinction. They forgot to eat. This is just what the Lord does. This being presently finished, they gave the dispirited people good advice, and showed them how to furnish themselves with arms. He is the rejected light of God, and light of the world, from the first, and all through; but, more than this, He is the light of God, not only in deed, but in His word; as elsewhere He let them know they would be judged by it in the last day. Few passages in the New Testament tell us so much about Jesus in so short a compass. 19) I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. It's my life, feeding the flock of God. Reviews in the French press were quite good and the public gave Mathieu standing ovations every evening. How, where, could this be anywhere else in John? It was not so, but was utter perfection. [33] Since 2009, she has been the main guest star of the Spasskaya Tower Military Music Festival and Tattoo, held on Moscow's Red Square. And now he who was high priest takes up the word, and gives though a wicked man, yet not without the Spirit acting the authoritative sentence about it which is recorded in our chapter. Did He, on their own principles, blaspheme then, because He said He was the Son of God? It was of a Roman centurion that Jesus said that he had never seen such faith in Israel ( Matthew 8:10); it was a Samaritan leper who alone returned to give thanks ( Luke 17:18-19); it was the Samaritan traveller who showed the kindness that all men must copy ( Luke 10:37); many would come from the east and the west and the north and the south to sit down in the Kingdom of God ( Matthew 8:11; Luke 13:29); the command in the end was to go out and to preach the gospel to all nations ( Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19); Jesus was, not the light of the Jews, but the light of the world ( John 8:12). The difference between this teaching and Jesus parables in the Synoptics now becomes clearer. What did he mean? "He groaned in spirit, and was troubled." apprehending whither He was going; for He was the Son not merely of Mary but of the Father. Christ is the shepherd,John 10:11; John 10:11, c. He was prophesied of under the Old Testament as a shepherd,Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:23; Ezekiel 37:24; Zechariah 13:7. But if I do, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and recognize that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father." (ii) But this saying of Jesus becomes very personal; for it is a dream which every one of us can help Jesus to realize. The idea is that the shepherd must bring home proof that the sheep had died, and that he had been unable to prevent the death. His unity with God is a unity of perfect love, issuing in perfect obedience. It is One who had deigned to become man in love to man. His arm was so badly smashed that it had to be amputated. ", John also gives us the place of this discussion, Solomon's Porch. To John's proclamation Jesus added God's power. If be considered the accusative fem.

But He is referring to the decadent religious system that Judaism had degraded into. The thief comes only to kill and to steal and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.". This is the company used to publish recordings, and her management agency run by her sisters Monique and Christiane. The Jewish law laid down the penalty of stoning for blasphemy. "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" ( John 14:15). He was born at the measured time, in the due place, from the sworn stock, and of the defined mother, according to the written word. Such was a disciple's sombre anticipation. A character plain, honest, energetic, not always the most gracious, but certainly confronted with the most heartless and false of adversaries. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. [27] Mathieu's father Roger died this same year. (Verse 5). "Whither I go ye know, and the way ye know." For that reason the festival was sometimes called the Festival of the Dedication of the Altar, and sometimes the Memorial of the Purification of the Temple. They know his voice, and follow on; but, if a stranger call, they stop short, lift up their heads in alarm, and if it is repeated, they turn and flee, because they know not the voice of a stranger. His testimony was so decided, that the reason why they did not then lay hands on Him was simply this His hour was not yet come. So when you tell us that the great Spirit is our Father, that is very beautiful to us." A goat-herd had descended into a valley and was mounting the slope of an opposite hill, when turning round, he saw his goats had remained behind to devour a rich patch of scrub. Or, Secondly, As an apt similitude, illustrating the intimacy that is between Christ and believers. A stranger [He said] they will not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. [19], While on tour in February 1968, Mathieu was in a car accident in which she fractured one of her vertebrae; the injury incapacitated her for three months. She has stage fright, and can often be seen making the sign of the cross before moving out on stage. On 1 November 2008, she was a guest of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and performed a concert in his honor. In them there was an opening by which the sheep came in and went out; but there was no door of any kind. That is, it was to give them a part with Him outside the world. 2. Peter wrote, "Feed the flock of God which is among you." John 9:35-38). It was virtually saying that He was not going merely to bless them here. WebChinese Characters: (Hnz) Lets break down the word (Hnz) as an example. Why are you, you know, you're still pushing so hard when you don't have to anymore?" And so there came at this point a very sharp division among the people. . And Doctor Smith said to him, "Well, you don't have any door, how do you keep the sheep from going out?" They again tried to lay violent hands on him, but he evaded their grasp. He enters not by the door, as having no lawful cause of entry, but climbs up some other way, at a window, or some breach in the wall. The picture of the shepherd is woven into the language and imagery of the Bible. But now we see the other side of it. Observe, [a.] You being a man are making Yourself God. He's quoting the scripture. It was "a woman that was a sinner;" and I believe there is much moral beauty in not giving us her name, for obvious reasons. For which of these deeds did they wish to stone him? He has pity upon the people because they are as sheep without a shepherd ( Matthew 9:36; Mark 6:34). The John 10:14 th andJohn 10:15; John 10:15 th verses really form one sentence. It was not exactly, as Augustine says, "Relicti sunt duo, misera, et misericordia" ( In Jo. Written in the Year 1727.. She was in Russia and the Baltic States throughout November, returning to Paris after a concert in Warsaw, Poland on 28 November. There was no reception of the light of God. But Jesus' life was spent in doing things for others. He has all that care of his church, and every believer, that a good shepherd has of his flock; and expects all that attendance and observance from the church, and every believer, which the shepherds in those countries had from their flocks. First, The carelessness of the unfaithful shepherd described (John 10:12; John 10:13); he that is a hireling, that is employed as a servant and is paid for his pains, whose own the sheep are not, who has neither profit nor loss by them, sees the wolf coming, or some other danger threatening, and leaves the sheep to the wolf, for in truth he careth not for them. Mathieu included her father's operatic voice on her 1968 Christmas album, where it was mixed in with the Minuit Chrtiens song. He was the way, and there was none other. Here the Lord at once passes to another testimony, the Son of man, where the introduction of His most efficacious death is couched under the well-known figure of the corn of wheat falling into the ground and dying, as the harbinger, and, indeed, the means, of much fruit. His equipment was very simple. And so it's a very colorful picture that was very familiar to those people in that culture, unfamiliar to us in our culture. By contrast, Jesus sacrificed everything for his flock, even being prepared to die for it so that his sheep might be saved (John 10:11-13). But there is much to be set on the other side. It was his conviction that God had given Israel for a light to the nations ( Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 49:6; Isaiah 56:8) and always there had been some lonely voices which insisted that God was not the exclusive property of Israel, but that her destiny was to make him known to all men. The blood of perishing souls is required at the hand of the careless watchmen. He therefore does not scruple to push things to an extremity, to draw out their real character and state most distinctly; to pronounce on them as from beneath, as He Himself from above; to show that there was no resemblance between them and Abraham, but rather Satan, and not the smallest communion in their thoughts with His Father's. It is absolute grace. Fill in the blank: I cant figure out _____ gave me this gift. And we're gonna be talking about predestination and those whom He foreknew He also chose, and those He chose He called. And many came to him, and they kept saying: "John did no sign; but everything John said about this man is true." But in addition to the washing of regeneration, there is a continual dealing of grace with the believer in this world; there is the constant need of the application of the word by the Holy Ghost discovering whatever there may be of inconsistency, and bringing him to judge himself in the detail of daily walk here below. A word is something about which a man can argue; but a deed is something beyond argument. She performed again in Palais des Congres in November and December 1990 with a special 2-hour concert without intermission, a new hair cut, like Louise Brooks and a very simple black dress created by French couturier Pierre Cardin. They follow their Shepherd, for they know his voice, having both a discerning ear, and an obedient heart. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

I said, "Well, I don't know, I've read the sermon several times and I have read all of his defenses of the sermon and the magazine articles in the Morning Star that followed." This supposes the Holy Ghost given. Such a shepherd of souls was St. Paul, who would gladly spend, and be spent, for their service, and counted not his life dear to him, in comparison with their salvation. In the parable we have, (1.) (ii) He promised a life that would know no end. What place had they under it? Mathieu had an active tour schedule for 2014, celebrating her 50th year in show business (she dates her career from the year she won her first singing contest in Avignon). [5], Mathieu is Roman Catholic, and her adopted patron saint is Saint Rita, the Saint for the Impossible. [Note: Carson, The Gospel . Mathieu's paternal grandmother Germaine ne Charreton, assured her that Saint Rita was the one to intercede to God for hopeless cases. They were offended at the notion of their not seeing. I am the good shepherd, and I know my own sheep, and my own sheep know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. You're taking it one step ahead. The novel was inspired by a youthful He walked in the sunshine of God. "If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 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?" Stark officially became her manager that night, and with his longtime assistant Nadine Joubert, helped prepare Mathieu to win the contest the following week and defeat Lemaire. b. It often happens that a man for whom a great future is painted, and who sets out with the hopes of men upon him, disappoints that future and belies these hopes. He that receives the truth might at first be very ignorant; the truth may be, then, nothing more than that which lets in the light of God graciously, but in a limited measure. The appeal concludes: "I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you.'" "Man," he said, "were you ever really alive?" Now Jesus is talking about this kind of a sheepfold that they have over there. The only possible unity for men is in their common sonship with God. The Greek really means that they went and fetched stones to fling at him. These are the two truths which the Lord thus communicates to them. "My sheep hear My voice, I know them, they follow Me.". 10:17-18 "The reason why my Father loves me is that I lay down my life that I may take it again. What happened was that at night the shepherd himself lay down across the opening and no sheep could get out or in except over his body. Christ was not only the Son of God, but the Son of man. Not but that, as the Son of God, he was beloved of his Father from eternity, but as God-man, as Immanuel, he was therefore beloved of the Father because he undertook to die for the sheep; therefore God's soul delighted in him as his elect because herein he was his faithful servant (Isaiah 42:1); therefore he said, This is my beloved Son. affected with, characterized by, or showing melancholy; causing melancholy or sadness; saddening: a constitutional tendency to gloominess or depression, a sad thoughtful state of mind; pensiveness, a gloomy character, thought to be caused by too much black bile, one of the four bodily humours; black bile, characterized by, causing, or expressing sadness, dejection, etc. It is not merely, then, the truth making free, but the Son. But the Lord explains further, that if a man loves Him, he will keep His word, and His Father will love him, "and we will come to him, and make our abode with him." The Jew's ignorance of the drift and meaning of this discourse (John 10:6; John 10:6): Jesus spoke this parable to them, this figurative, but wise, elegant, and instructive discourse, but they understood not what the things were which he spoke unto them, were not aware whom he meant by the thieves and robbers and whom by the good Shepherd. "I and My Father are one." "By me," He says not by circumcision, or the law "By me if any man enter in." The second danger is by far the worse; because, if the shepherd is faithful and good, there is a strong defence from the attack from outside; but if the shepherd is faithless and a hireling, the foes from outside can penetrate into and destroy the flock. The people who listened to Jesus on this occasion were confronted with a dilemma which is for ever confronting men. The date was the Festival of the Dedication. He's a miserable sheep, you know, I . He has complete authority over life and death, and his enemies are powerless to take his life from him. To say the things they want to hear. He decided that he would eliminate the Jewish religion once and for all, and introduce Greek ways and thoughts, Greek religion and gods into Palestine. "The shepherd calls sharply from time to time, to remind them of his presence. To conclude and crown all, as far as their security was concerned, the question is answered as to any hostile power. Secondly, This he had in his eye, in laying down his life, that he might have an opportunity of declaring himself to be the Son of God with power by his resurrection, Romans 1:4. Impossible for another, or all others, to give so much. You see, no religious system gives you the power to abide by its concepts. Salvation is the first need of a sinner, and certainly the Gentile needs it as much as the Jew. especially against wolves, and there were always thieves and robbers ready to steal the sheep. And Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said ( John 10:34 ), "Notice in your law that I said," here He is claiming the authorship of their law, "have you not written in your law, that I said,". He was the way to the Father, and therefore they ought to have known. Good men, as new creatures, have the good qualities of sheep, harmless and inoffensive as sheep; meek and quiet, without noise; patient as sheep under the hand both of the shearer and of the butcher; useful and profitable, tame and tractable, to the shepherd, and sociable one with another, and much used in sacrifices. Evidently this teaching followed what John recorded in chapter 9 (John 10:21), but exactly when between the feast of Tabernacles (John 7:2; John 7:14; John 7:37) and the feast of Dedication (John 10:22) it happened is unclear. Because this progression must of been going on through eternity." This is not what the verse states, but that resurrection of the dead, or the raising of dead persons, was the great proof that defined Him to be the Son of God with power. Christ's disciples, without any particular instructions from their Master, made no conscience of eating with unwashen hands, or plucking the ears of corn on the sabbath day; for nothing is more opposite to true Christianity than Pharisaism is, nor any thing more disrelishing to a soul truly devout than their hypocritical devotions. [25], In 1983, Mathieu formed another publishing company, Abilene Disc. Jesus said. Moses followed it until it reached a ravine, where it found a well to drink from. They loved sin; they had God manifested in love, manifested in Christ. If a man tries to come by any other system, by any other way, he's a thief and a robber. For this bore solemn witness, that in the truth of things before God there was no sabbath possible for them: He must work if man was to be delivered and blessed. And I told them that somehow we didn't believe in the same God. God has blessed investments that we have made and has prospered us far beyond anything we'd ever dreamed. And if I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me." They are drawn together as one flock under the shepherd Jesus. His death is in view: what will the sheep do then? Mathieu does not have a publicist, or feel the need to expound on her private life. The leader of the nation is to be one who can bring them out and lead them in ( Numbers 27:17). He laid down a vilified body, that he might assume a glorified one, fit to ascend to the world of spirits; laid down a life adapted to this world, but assumed one adapted to the other, like a corn of wheat, John 12:24; John 12:24. He accomplished the work that God had marked out for Him in prophecy and type. A similar warning is given by Paul, See that no man rob you through vain philosophy, (Colossians 2:8.). Last night when I arrived here frightened, tired, weary, sore I had no consciousness of the presence of God. The unity comes from the fact, not that all the sheep are forced into one fold, but they all hear, answer and obey one shepherd. In the garden he bade his would-be defender put up his sword. But, besides this, the unbelief of the Jews brings out another thing; that is, the perfect security of the sheep a very important question, because He was going to die. Stark had his first heart attack while making arrangements for this concert. Unfortunately, Christianity is often ranked as one of the religions of the world. I. He was not running away: he was preparing himself for the final contest. But to find fault with the statement that Christ did in His own spirit realize beforehand what He was going to suffer on the cross, is to overlook much of His sufferings, to ignore truth, and despise Scripture either leaving out a large portion of what God records about it, or confounding it with the actual fact, and only a part of it after all. I am the good shepherd, and I know my sheep, and am known of mine ( John 10:14 ). You're His or you're not His. By their fruits they should know them. She was able to salvage the tours on 3 November 2012 in Moscow, 5 November 2012 in Saint Petersburg and 7 November 2012 in Krasnodar. Also that month, she had to cancel some of her shows in Russia (Rostov, Volgograd, Samara, and Ufa). The point at which we have arrived gives me an opportunity of saying a little on the beginning of this chapter, and the end of the last; for it is well known that many men, and, I am sorry to add, not a few Christians, have allowed appearances to weigh against John 7:53 John 8:11 a very precious portion of God's word. "I did," said the missionary. Anciently they had their sheepfolds within the outer gates of their houses, for the greater safety of their flocks, so that none could come to them the right way, but such as the porter opened to or the master of the house gave the keys to. It was said that 80,000 Jews perished, and as many were sold into slavery. Hence we do well to remark the peculiarity in the Lord's manner of working. Find more similar words at wordhippo.com! He was Himself the light. In John this case does not appear at all; no blind man cries to the Son of David throughout. They were surprised. 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. It would be vast mercy to keep men merely from annihilation or hell; but Jesus will give them eternal joy, peace, the society of the blessed, and all those exalted means of felicity which are prepared for them in the world of glory. And then many believed in him. So Jesus points out the contrast between the shepherd, the true shepherd, and the hireling.A young minister came to me, for he had been invited by a church to be its pastor. The effort to destroy the person of Christ and to undermine His glory only developed, in the goodness of God, that divine work which had already touched his soul, as well as given him eyes to see. (b.) And these moral or spiritual indications (though, of course, only to such as are capable of apprehending and enjoying God's mind) are incomparably graver and more conclusive than any evidence of an external sort. Not that the external evidence is really weak, far from it. His acquainting himself with his flock, with all that belong or in any wise appertain to his flock, which are of two sorts, both known to him:--. (6.) It is not only that there is life and salvation in Christ, but there is liberty, in contrast with the law. If we would have our amens accepted in heaven, let Christ's amens be prevailing on earth; his repeated amens. They condemned our Saviour as a thief and a robber, because he did not come in by them as the door, nor take out a license from them; but he shows that they ought to have received their commission from him, to have been admitted by him, and to have come after him, and because they did not, but stepped before him, they were thieves and robbers. He had sometimes intimated his special concern for the lost sheep of the house of Israel; to them indeed his personal ministry was confined; but, saith he, I have other sheep. Enmity to His person was their motive. Thomas proposes that they should go to die with him. He went to the place where John had been accustomed to baptize, the place where he himself had been baptized. Indeed, the lowly love of His Master was so apparent then, that the ardent but hasty disciple stumbled over it. "But the sheep did not hear them.". Now, I can accept that the infinite can reach down and touch the finite, that's no problem for the infinite God. Where obedience lies comparatively on the surface, and self-will or worldliness is not judged, a commandment is always necessary to enforce it. He was both the offerer and the offering, so that his laying down his life was his offering up himself. True Christianity died. But, far from being confined to Israel, it rather sets aside the Jewish system, which assumes to order things justly now according to man's conduct, thus ignoring man's ruin by sin, and God's grace in Christ as the sole deliverance. (ii) It tells us that Jesus always saw the Cross and the glory together. Again, we pray that the Lord will just give you a marvelous week. It is the sin and shame of many who hear the word of Christ that they do not understand it, and they do not because they will not, and because they will mis-understand it. Thus clearly we have in this case the rejection of Jesus viewed, not in open attack on His own person, as in the. the struggle was finally won; and in that year the Temple was cleansed and purified. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. The cause of both parties brought before them. (Verses 38-40). Even if they believed after a sort, there was no confession to salvation, for they loved the praise of men, Jesus the Son of God, Jehovah Himself stands on earth and cries His final testimony. The day had been sanctified from the beginning; the duty of the Jew was unquestionable; but sin was man's state; after every remedial measure, he was thoroughly and only evil continually. In John 8:1-59 the prominent feature. The religious systems points and says, "Now that's the way you ought to live if you want God to accept you." So that the judges are as gods over the people in that they are controlling the destiny of these people as they meet out their judgment. I mean, I can't tell the difference between sheep. It was uncanny because there was nothing human about it. Note, Jesus Christ is the best of shepherds, the best in the world to take the over-sight of souls, none so skilful, so faithful, so tender, as he, no such feeder and leader, no such protector and healer of souls as he. Her lawyer Andr Schmidt sued the station for defamation. To the Jews Jesus' statement that he and the Father were one was blasphemy. Though they use a lot of the same terms that I use and they talk about Jesus and they talk about God, and they talk about salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, and through faith in His blood that was shed for our sins. The word of God explains this mystery. Upon these terms I am, as Mediator, to expect my Father's acceptance and approbation, and the glory designed me--that I become a sacrifice for the chosen remnant." She also writes that she was forbidden to read the press, and, having peeked at some of it, was content to follow that rule. But what witnesses? David tells Saul how when he was keeping his father's sheep, he had the battle with the lion and the bear ( 1 Samuel 17:34-36). This seems to me of deep interest; for we are too apt to look on Christ merely as One whose power dealt with sickness and with the grave. Hence, even before Lazarus was raised up at the grave, we do not see or hear of One coming with divine power and majesty, and doing the miracle, if I may so say, off-hand. But this is not all; for grace with Christ freely gives, not salvation alone, but all things. The hope of the Jews is the manifestation of Christ's glory here below and by-and-by. [24], In 1989, President Franois Mitterrand invited Mathieu to sing a tribute to General Charles de Gaulle. Secondly, There shall be one fold and one shepherd.
