The Good Shepherd pt. 2
John 10:11-21
Sunday, 12/4/22

As the good shepherd…
1.  Jesus voluntarily sacrifices his life for the sheep v.11
Isaiah 53:5-7, “He was pierced for our rebellions, he was crushed for our sins; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the sins of us all.”
2.  Jesus doesn’t abandon the sheep v.12-13
3.  Jesus enters into a relationship with the sheep v.14-15
Psalm 23:1-4, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff,  they comfort me.”
Hebrews 13:5-6, “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. Who or what can get to me.”
4.  Jesus gathers other stray sheep v.16
5.  Jesus creates spiritual dilemmas with people v.19-21
