The Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd

Scripture Reading: John 10:25-30

Focus Verse: John 10:27  “My sheep listen to my voice, I know them, and they follow me.

Jesus would often use ordinary examples to teach extraordinary truth.  In Jesus day, a shepherd was an ordinary job.  The shepherd’s job was to feed the sheep, look after their health, protect them from animals that would bring harm.  Sheep are defenseless, and not very smart.  Our Shepherd, Jesus knows everything about us. He knows our name and he call us by name. He paid for us by His very blood shed on the cross.  We are His, and He has promised that nothing can snatch us from His hand.  Jesus gives us the security we need that the world can not offer.  He is our Good Shepherd, and we will be with Him for all eternity, but only if we follow and obey Him.
