People's Commentary (NT)
John 10:18
I lay it down of myself. His life. He gave himself for man of his
free will. He laid it down on the cross; he took it up when he rose
from the dead. Abbott says of the lesson in John 10:1-18, "I understand
this lesson to be a parable with a double application. First, Christ
compares the Pharisees to shepherds, himself to the door, and declares
that those only are true shepherds who enter through the door; that is,
through Christ and his authority. All others are thieves and robbers.
Then he changes the application and declares himself the good shepherd
whose praises David and Isaiah sung, and indicates the nature of the
service that he will render unto his sheep by giving for them his
life".
