John 10:13 - Exposition

( The hireling £ fleeth) because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep . He only cares for himself. He is no match for the wolf of temptation, or disease, or death, lie wants to reap the personal advantage of his temporary office, and, if his own interests are imperiled, he can leave them to any other hireling, or to the wolf. Melancholy picture this of much deserted duty.
