The Seven “I am” Statements of Jesus Series – Week4; “I am the Good Shepherd”
As we continue the “I AM” series, Pastor Darth explores Jesus’ declaration that He is the “Good Shepherd”, revealing how He lays down His life for helpless sheep like us, intimately knows our hearts, and draws all people into His loving fold.
John 10: 11-16 NLT
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. 12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.
