Most of us devoid of shepherding experience would probably do a bad job out of the gate in that situation. There was one, however, who claimed to not just be a good shepherd, but the good shepherd though he too lacked practical experience, with the animal anyway. He could make this declaration because he was shepherding a different kind of creature altogether – people. This week as we look at God’s Word, we see the second of Jesus’ comparison images as he calls himself “the good shepherd”. As we saw last week, the setting for this passage is what is known as “the good shepherd discourse” and it is in this passage that we will see the second of the two images tonight. Additionally, as we saw last week Jesus was attempting to call Jewish followers to himself and away from the Pharisees and their corrupt religious system. He did this by way of figure of speech and comparing his shepherding to theirs. We are going to consider from the text 2 “shepherd signs” that demonstrate that Jesus was not only the good shepherd for Jewish people then but is also the good shepherd for us today. Big Idea: 2 signs that Jesus is “the good shepherd” for us. (John 10:11-21)
