The Good Shepherd is described as having come to give us life, and that more abundantly (John 10:10).  God's intentions toward his children are good, and good only.  But we have to get a revelation about that fact in order to experience His goodness on any wide scale, because everything in the Kingdom is accessed by faith.  This teaching focuses on more reasons why God's people don't experience the abundance that the Good Shepherd intends for His sheep.
