John: The Good Shepherd (And The Wolves)

What makes a ‘good’ shepherd?

He doesn’t run when the wolves come.

In John 10, Jesus faced all sorts of ‘wolves.’ From Pharisees, to Romans, to the Devil himself, Jesus was always in grave danger.But so were His sheep! And so, instead of running, Jesus faced the evils of this world on their behalf. Then, He drank down the cup of God’s wrath on Calvary. Truly, there has never been a Shepherd like Jesus of Nazareth – the One who gave His life to save His flock.

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) What two jobs do shepherds have?

B) Why did Jesus refer to ‘sheep not of this fold?’

C) What are the implications of being a ‘sheep?’
