Jesus ends his public ministry and begins his glorification as he triumphantly enters Jerusalem for holy week. He declares that he will now be glorified, but the crowds struggle to understand and grasp what this means and many are unwilling to give up their own pursuit of glory.

Jesus shows us what a real shepherd looks like. A Shepherd that knows his sheep by name, that loves his sheep, and that lays down his life to protect and keep his sheep eternally.

Jesus promises eternal life to those who keep His word. He can promise us eternal life because he has life in himself. He is the self-existent God, the ‘I Am.’

Jesus explains that we are all in darkness, hopeless, and lost looking for a way out. He alone is the light that leads to life

Jesus tells us that he alone can quench our thirst, but we must come to him and drink.

We are so easily distracted by the materialism of this world, we work and labor and strive for things that perish. Jesus tells us that we ought to be pursuing eternal food – we ought to be pursuing Him!
