Coordinated Salvation, serving scattered sheep

-Your salvation is coordinated, the spirit has come on you in unlikely circumstances to show you its not you coordinating you salvation.
-Jesus is mostly dealing with Moses and Abraham in John as it applies to his identity but here it is hailing back to David

John 10:1-18,25-33,39-42
1 Kings 1:11-16
Ezekiel 34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

-I don't want to give off that this is the definitive view on this text, it is only what God has impressed me with this time around reading it.
-The shepherd has all sorts of things to do to keep the sheep and he needs coordination rather than gainsaying
-with every I statement, Jesus is trying to form and identify a relationship instead of promoting himself
-We must understand the shepherd as it applies to the role of a king especially as we see it in David
-coming before Jesus doesn't refer to the prophets, it refers to those that did not point people to his coming.
-John the baptist appears to be the porter (v. 41)
-Door: a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard
-Is Jesus your barrier or your way in 
-Yes, we have a cloak and dagger way of functioning and therefore we are not coordinated
-John was the remission of sins, Jesus was eternal life
-Many people Believed on Jesus by tracing the life of John, but also in that they got away from those that were in stubborn disbelief. Many times we would believe God if we just got away from stubborn folks.
-when we are uncoordinated, we are off and start making poor decisions.
-But God can reconcile our poor decisions back to himself and coordinate us again
-What has God given you to keep, you must be coordinated if you'll keep it
-As a good shepherd you will lay your life down for the sheep. that is the price of good leadership.
-how low can you go.
-He is looking for you to bring it to life... full term... bring forth
-the woman didn't ask for a son... but God gave it to her to bring to life
