I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD (10:11) – JESUS IS ALL I NEED TO MAKE IT THROUGH LIFE AND GET TO MY HEAVENLY HOME, apart from Him is only aimless wandering.
ļ§ Jesus said I am the Good Shepherd who died; I have settled the issue of the unknown.
ļ§ I am your companion through life and death.
ļ§ Jesus gives us the perfect example of how to live and how to die! ļ§ Believers are FOLLOWING THE GOOD SHEPHERD WHO IS THE SAVIOR OF MY LIFE. āI AM the Good Shepherdā (10:11,14).
This morning we meet our Good Shepherd.
As Jesus introduces Himself in John 10:11 as the Good Shepherd, we are drawn to the picture most of us know and love.
When Jesus introduced Himself as the Good Shepherd He was declaring that though sheep are not people, and people are not sheep there is an amazing likeness. This morning as we examine these incredible animals and those who led them as shepherds, we can see the truths Jesus was declaring. We NEED a shepherd and He is the BEST and ONLY GOOD SHEPHERD!
Jesus has three magnificent titles as Godās chosen Shepherd in the New Testament.
1. John 10:11 He is introduced as the Good Shepherd who dies for His sheep. He came as Godās Prophet and died as predicted in Psalm 22.
2. Hebrews 13:20 introduces Jesus as the Great Shepherd who lives for His Sheep. He lives as Godās Priest in the present making intercession for us as described in all present tenses in Psalm 23.
3. In 1st Peter 5:4 He is introduced as the Chief Shepherd who returns for His sheep. He will return as Godās King as Psalm 24 promises.
Three thousand years ago David said that the Lord is my Shepherd, two thousand years ago Jesus said I am the Good Shepherd. Today shepherds have changed little, sheep have changed less, and the Lord hasnāt changed at all!
Please stand and meet our Good Shepherd in the 23rd Psalm whoever lives for us His sheep.
