I AM… the Gate and the Good Shepherd
Text: John 10:1-18
Jesus uses the familiar image of the shepherd to help us understand His care, guidance, and protection of the sheep. We also learn that Jesus shepherds the flock, not just individual sheep. As the sheep of God’s pasture, it is vital that we remain connected to the flock, and that we listen carefully for the voice of the Shepherd.
