The Parable of the Shepherd and the Sheep in John is a well known parable. Part of this parable discusses the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy. Many people believe that this ‘only’ refers to the devil (Satan). But, that’s not true. These thieves are in the churches today and are people who carryout Satan’s plan to pervert the Gospel. To steal, kill and destroy have an important spiritual meaning for the church today.  Click on the link below to view a You Tube video on this topic.
