“The Good Shepherd: The One We All Need” | John 10:11–18

In this message from John 10:11–18, we explore what it means that Jesus calls Himself “the Good Shepherd.” The Bible calls us sheep—not because it’s flattering, but because it’s true. We’re helpless, prone to wander, and desperately in need of someone to lead us, protect us, and save us.

500 years before Christ, God rebuked the unfaithful leaders of Israel through the prophet Ezekiel, promising that He Himself would come and shepherd His people. In this passage, Jesus fulfills that promise. He is not like the hired hands who run when danger comes—He lays down His life for the sheep.

This sermon dives into four key truths about Jesus, our Good Shepherd:
1️⃣ He Alone Is the True Shepherd – Every earthly leader, every false promise, will fall short.
2️⃣ He Knows His Sheep Personally – You are fully known and deeply loved by Him.
3️⃣ He Lays Down His Life Willingly – The cross wasn’t an accident. It was a plan motivated by divine love.
4️⃣ He Seeks the Lost – Jesus came not just for the fold of Israel, but for all people—including you.

Whether you’re already part of His flock or still wandering, this message will show you the unmatched love, protection, and purpose found only in Jesus.
