John 10:1-21

      This passage presents one of the most picturesque metaphors of Christ’s relationship to His disciples.  It echoes David’s words in Psalm 23; The Lord is my shepherd.  Caring for sheep was a concept that was familiar to the people listening to Jesus.

      After He told the Pharisees that they were guilty because of their  sight (their view of God’s law), Jesus compares His care for God’s people to the Jewish Leaders care for God’s people.  Jesus makes a point of claiming a certain group of sheep as His.  These sheep hear His voice and follow Him.  The Good Shepherd will die so His sheep can have abundant life.

 

       What is Jesus telling you about  Himself and how should you respond?

 

       Enjoy the abundant life given to you by your Good Shepherd as you glorify God today.

 

HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
