Thief Disguised As a Doctor
“When an English robber called Captain Thunderbolt escaped the law and moved to the eastern US in 1818, he began practicing medicine.
He took on the name Dr. John Wilson.
Often he wore three suits of clothes to escape recognition by making himself look larger and covering up a deformed leg.
Just before the man died, he asked his friends to bury him without removing his clothes.
But to prepare his body for proper burial, that request could not be honored.
The mortician was surprised to find scars from wounds and a withered leg.
A search of “Dr.
Wilson’s” house revealed a stash of watches, jewelry, and diamonds.
The sheriff learned that the doctor was in fact Thunderbolt, a thief in disguise.”
Jesus warns us about thieves in disguises that are trying to rob something that is more precious than any watch, jewelry, or diamond; The souls of man.
As we conclude our Rescue series, we are going to see Jesus proclaim that He is the one who came to save us from these thieves and robbers.
If you have your bible, please turn with me to John 10 as we hear God’s Word and answer the following questions;
Who are the thieves and robbers?
How do they try to steal the souls of man?
How does Jesus protect us from them?
***Give some context of what happened prior to this chapter.***
(Prayer)
Be On Guard:
The opening portion of this scripture, Jesus makes it clear that we need to be on guard from thieves and robbers.
Thief- A person who steals, especially secretly or without open force.
(Example: Stealing Furby Keychain at K-Mart)
Robber-Takes something from someone by unlawful force or threat of violence.
(Example: Bully Taking Someones Lunch Money)
We are called to be on guard by thieves and robbers who try to destroy the church.
“You know what is false by studying the truth.”
(Example: Bankers Training)
“Federal agents don’t learn to spot counterfeit money by studying the counterfeits.
They study genuine bills until they master the look of the real thing.
Then when they see the bogus money they recognize it.”
What Are Thieves and Robbers After?
What are they trying to steal?
Ultimately the souls man.
1.) Peace (When stolen becomes anxiety)
2.) Love (When stolen becomes hate)
3.) Joy (When stolen becomes depression)
4.) Identity (When stolen becomes confusion)
5.) Courage (When stolen becomes fear)
6.) Security (When stolen becomes brokenness)
7.) Hope (When stolen becomes despair)
8.) Freedom (When stolen becomes imprisonment)
“All of these are stolen because of the lies we have been sold by the enemy.”
(Personal Example: Fear)
Fear has caused me not to trust.
Fear has caused broken relationships.
Fear has caused me to quit.
Fear has caused me to question.
Fear has caused me to not walk by faith.
The Shepherd:
Shepherd-A person who protects, guides, or watches over a person or a group of people.
“THE PERFECT SHEPHERD IS JESUS CHRIST!”
Jesus Christ is the one who saves, protects, and guides us!
That’s what salvation is!
Salvation-Deliverance from the power and effects from sin.
“Tonight, you can be delivered in the name of Jesus Christ!”
When you are anxious about the things of this world, you can find peace in Jesus Christ!
When you don’t feel loved, know that Jesus Christ loves you!
When you don’t have joy, know that you can find joy in Jesus Christ!
When you are confused about your identity, know that it is found in Jesus Christ!
When you feel fearful, find courage in Jesus Christ!
When you feel broken, know that your security is found in Christ!
When you feel hopeless, know that hope can be found in Jesus Christ!
You know longer have to be a prisoner to sin, but freedom can be found in Jesus Christ!
