Other Sheep Not in the Fold<\/strong>
\nJohn 10:11-18<\/strong>\t<\/p>\n

May the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ be poured into peoples\u2019 hearts! Amen.<\/p>\n

May the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ be poured into peoples\u2019 hearts! Amen.
\nWe\u2019ve had experiences with people standing outside of our front door wanting to share their faith. Even though they say that they are Christians and that they read the Bible (very similar to our Bible but a special translation) they do not accept the Apostles\u2019 Creed according to which many Christians confess their faith.
\nRegardless of whether they say they are Christians or not, there are people who deny the Trinity. Those religions have always existed even after Jesus was crucified and resurrected. Not only do they deny the Holy Trinity, some sects have actively persecuted Christians throughout history.
\nThe reason why I said \u201csome sects\u201d is that not all people who deny the Holy Trinity act against Christians at all. For instance in Japan, there are people who say they are not Christian due to their ancestor’s grave in a Buddhist temple, but some of them study Christianity and believe in Christ although they could never accept Christ publically.
\nIn the US, those that have lived in the later part of our nation\u2019s 239 year history, find it difficult to imagine that Christians are persecuted. Regardless of whether or not we are persecuted, a very important issue is how we relate to people who do not know about Christianity or do not accept the Christian faith. <\/p>\n

It is the fourth Sunday of Easter Season. Every fourth Sunday of Easter, the gospel about the Good Shepherd is read. When we imagine that the Good Shepherd leads the sheep into a certain fold, you might also imagine that pastors also lead the members inside the church.
\nHowever, did Jesus state that pastors or leaders of the Church should not care about sheep outside the fold? Did he state that pastors should not care about the people outside the Church?
\nIn today\u2019s Gospel, verse 16 says, \u201cI have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.\u201d What does this mean? <\/p>\n

Considering the social context in Israel at that time, there was a clear distinction between Jews and Gentiles. Therefore, I believe his Jewish disciples were perplexed by what Jesus said.
\nThe sheep in the fold were Jews and the disciples had been thinking that they would be saved by the Messiah, but they did not know if Gentiles would also be saved. The disciples might not have cared if Gentiles would be saved or not.
\nJesus ignored his disciples\u2019 possible indifference. Jesus proclaimed clearly that Jesus would lead the Gentiles as well. He proclaimed that even the people outside the fold would listen to Jesus\u2019 voice and follow him.
\n2000 years after Jesus said this, almost over 2 billion Gentiles worldwide listen to Jesus\u2019 voice through the Bible and worship Him as our Messiah. All of us in this sanctuary worshipping Jesus today are actually Gentiles. And again, when we hear the Scripture that says, \u201cI have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.\u201d and it is still very important, for us, even in the 21st century. <\/p>\n

There are many people who won\u2019t try to understand what Jesus taught or will try to get away from apostolic confession. Are we making a fold that prevents non-Christians from listening to what Jesus taught? There are those that definitely stay outside the fold, but that does not mean we should ignore them.
\nThere are also a different group of people who learned about the Holy Trinity and completely deny it. Although, we do not know when it will happen, there will be a time when people outside the fold will know Jesus\u2019 voice and follow him.
\nAt the beginning of the Meiji era (a time of open Western influence in Japan), there was a samurai named Takuma Sawabe. He came to see the missionary, St. Nicolai, in Hakodate, with his sword unsheathed ready to kill him. However, St. Nicolai said to him, \u201cWhy do you try to kill me even without knowing what Jesus taught us?\u201d Surprisingly, Takuma Sawabe started listening to St. Nicolai, then he was baptized, and several years later, became the first Christian priest in Japan.
\nWe do not know when, it could be tomorrow, ten years or a thousand years from now, but there will be a time when even the people that persecute Christians will listen to Jesus and there will be one flock led by Jesus, the Good Shepherd. We should pray for and try to talk with the people who do not come to church or do not listen to what Jesus teaches, remembering Jesus\u2019 inspiring words: \u201cThere will be one flock, one shepherd.\u201d Amen. <\/p>\n

Amen. May the Grace and Peace of Jesus Christ be poured into peoples\u2019 hearts! Amen. We\u2019ve had experiences with people standing outside of our front door wanting to share their faith. Even though they say that they are Christians and that they read the Bible (very similar to our Bible but a special translation) they do not accept the Apostles\u2019 Creed according to which many Christians confess their faith. Regardless of whether they say they are Christians or not, there are people who deny the Trinity. Those religions have always existed even after Jesus was crucified and resurrected. Not only do they deny the Holy Trinity, some sects have actively persecuted Christians throughout history. The reason why I said \u201csome sects\u201d is that not all people who deny the Holy Trinity act against Christians at all. For instance in Japan, there are people who say they are not Christian due to their ancestor’s grave in a Buddhist temple, but some of them study Christianity and believe in Christ although they could never accept Christ publically. In the US, those that have lived in the later part of our nation\u2019s 239 year history, find it difficult to imagine that Christians are persecuted. Regardless of whether or not we are persecuted, a very important issue…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-9"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5307"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5310,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5307\/revisions\/5310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5307"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5307"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/california.lcrjm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
