Other sheep
There is salvation in no one else. And he has other sheep that do not belong to this fold.
Although only the most daring (read stupid) among us preachers will take on the task, one has the opportunity to preach the scandal-of-the-particular-versus-universalist controversy this Sunday. I say daring (stupid) because it will invariably get you in hot water, but you could, the texts are there, the opportunity is available, but the nuance is tough. In many ways it sounds like they are saying the same thing.
In favor of the particularity of Jesus is Acts 4:12: There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.
In favor of the universality of Jesus is John 10:16: I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
