I Am the Good Shepherd

Sermon recap

Sacrifice. Relationship. Resurrection.

I can rest in His self-giving love. I can listen to His voice and welcome those He brings. I can trust the risen Shepherd.

• His sacrifice: Jesus lays down His life for the sheep.
• His relationship: Jesus knows His sheep and gathers others.
• His resurrection: Jesus has authority to lay down His life and take it up again.

Trust the Shepherd. Respond in one area.

Tool · Trust the Shepherd. Respond in one area.

1. His sacrifice: Where do I need to rest in what Jesus has done?
2. His relationship: Whom can I welcome as I listen to His Word?
3. His resurrection: What fear will I bring to the risen Shepherd?

Task · Put it into practice

Practice following the Good Shepherd: read John 10:11–18, pray about one area, and take one faithful step. Set aside five minutes a day.

This practice responds to His grace; it does not earn His love.
