Hi, Jessica. Jesus is speaking to a Jewish audience. The "other sheep" are those of the Gentiles who will believe in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. Out of the two (Israel and the Gentiles), Jesus makes us one fold. "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise." --Galatians 3:26-29 'Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called "Uncircumcision" by the so-called "Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace' --Ephesians 2:11-15 So the Gentiles are the "other fold" which also contain His "other sheep." Hope this helps! Just out of curiosity, what motivated you to ask this question? --Joe! |
