I am the good shepherd / John 10:11-16

John 10:11-16

When Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd, He wasn’t just offering comfort—He was claiming the very title of Jehovah, the Shepherd of Israel from Psalm 23. That means His care isn’t distant or abstract; it’s personal, sacrificial, and eternal. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep, while the hireling flees at the first sign of danger. Today we’re going to wrestle with two questions: Are we truly following Christ according to His will? And, for those of us called to lead, are we leading others in the same sacrificial love that He has shown us?
