“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees.”
John 10:11-12 (ESV)
I. The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
• He calls them by name (v.3)
• They recognize His voice (v.4)
• Personal relationship, not distant authority
💡 ILLUSTRATION
A shepherd in the Middle East can walk into a mixed flock and call out his own sheep. They come to him because they know his voice.
II. The Shepherd Lays Down His Life
• Not a hired hand who runs (v.12-13)
• Voluntary sacrifice out of love (v.18)

SCRIPTURE
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
John 10:11 (ESV)
I. The Shepherd Knows His Sheep
He calls them by name (v.3)
They recognize His voice (v.4)

Voluntary sacrifice (v.18)
III. One Flock, One Shepherd
Other sheep not of this fold (v.16)
My Notes
God knows me personally. Not just as part of a crowd, but by name. That changes how I pray.
The difference between a shepherd and a hired hand is love. A hired hand runs when things get hard.
Application: How am I listening for His voice this week? Am I too distracted?
