John 10:2 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary

1) "But he that entereth in by the door,'' (ho de eiserchomenos dia tes thuras) "However the one who enters through the door,'' at the call of the Shepherd, to salvation and service, who leads the way, takes the initiative, goes before and calls lost sheep to a place of perfect safety, shelter, rest, and provision, Joh 1:29; Joh 14:6.

2) ''Is the shepherd of the sheep." (poimen estin ton probaton) "That one is (now exists as) the shepherd of the sheep;"- You see it is His fold and His sheep, f lock for whom He made provision for their redemption and fellowship and service, and the fold, Eph 5:25; Luk 12:32, Act 20:28.
