Good Shepherd (4 of 7)
Series: The Right Now Jesus - I Am Statements
Steve Wagers
John 10:11,14
''I AM for Our Spiritual ASSISTANCE''
Some of most notable men in the Bible were shepherds - Jacob, Moses, David
They were shepherds in the LITERAL sense - Jesus is a Shepherd in the SPIRITUAL sense
Sheep mentioned over 300X. (More than any other animal.)
Bible refers to us as ''sheep.'' Sheep require the assistance of a Shepherd.
Sheep cannot FEED/LEAD themselves
Sheep cannot PROTECT/PROVIDE for themselves
Sheep are STUBBORN/SENSELESS (will follow other sheep)
Hebrews 13:20 -GREAT Shepherd
1 Peter 5: 4 -CHIEF Shepherd
Psalm 23 -MY Shepherd
John 10 -GOOD Shepherd
Bread of Life- I AM for our APPETITE
Light of World - I AM for our AWARENESS
Door - I AM for our ACCESS
1) The Shepherd's CONTROL!
A) He OWNS Them (14)
Friend of mine bought a flock of ewes. Said as he looked over them in the fold he thought that his hard earned money had acquired them. They not only belonged to him because they were on his property, but because he had paid full price for them.
Sheep don't own the Shepherd. Shepherd owns the sheep.
He may have bought us at Goodwill, but He paid full price for us.
B) He OVERSEES Them (14)
''know'' - Intimate knowledge
In the days of the text, Eastern shepherds knew the NAME of each sheep and would call out to them each morning. He also knew the NATURE of each sheep, which ones were prone to wander.
Nobody knows us like the Shepherd
Our NAME - WHO we Are
Our NATURE - WHERE we Are
2) The Shepherd's CARE!
A) SUBMISSIVELY (11, 18)
''Giveth'' - ''willingly/obediently/submissively''
LAID it Down to DIE
TOOK It Back to LIVE
B) SACRIFICIALLY (11,15)
''For the Sheep''
Jesus didn't die for Himself - He gave His life for YOU/ME!
OT - SHEEP DIED FOR THE SHEPHERD
