The testimony of the Old Testament was the
The testimony of the Old Testament was the sheepfold, but the testimony of the New Testa ment is Christ as the pasture. Are you a sheep? Do you prefer to remain in the fold when the pasture is ready? Do you still like to be confined and kept under the custody of the fold? Or will you come out of the fold and go into the pasture to enjoy the riches of Christ? Today, the Lord Jesus is no longer in Judaism. The Good Shep herd is no longer in the fold. He is staying where the testimony of the New Testament is estab lished. He has given up the fold and is staying in the place where He is the pasture. Therefore, you also must give up the fold and come to Him. This means that you must give up "Judaism" and come to take Christ as your everything. He is every thing to you. Just look at the sheep. The pasture is everything to them. The sheep enjoy the pas ture as the resting place, the food, the water, the life supply, and as everything else. You too must come out of the fold and go into the pasture— that is, you must come out of "Judaism" and go to Christ alone. You have to come out of the "law" and go to the place where Christ is enjoyed. Where is Christ now? Christ is outside of all the Judaistic types of groups and in the place where John the Baptist testified of Him.
Christ is the all-inclusive pasture. The fold is the law and Judaism. Christ, the very exit out of the fold, is the shepherd who leads you out of the fold and brings you to Himself who can be everything to you. He is now your pasture.
Allow me to repeat once again. Where is Christ now? He is not in Judaism, but in the very place where the New Testament is testified. Christ is in the place where John the Baptist testified of Him. This is very meaningful because the Lord is now out of the fold and is standing in a new position where He is everything to the chosen people of God. Therefore, you must come out of the old fold and go into the new pasture where Christ Himself is everything to you.
