The Shepherd Who Won't Run, Episode 9
Welcome to At the Sycamore Tree Podcast with Jeff Hughes — a place dedicated to helping you see Jesus more clearly.
In today’s episode, we continue our “I AM” series by exploring what Jesus meant when He said, “I am the Good Shepherd.”
What’s the difference between good intentions and godly intentions? And why does it matter who is leading your life?
Through John 10, we uncover the contrast between the hired hand and the true Shepherd — one who runs when things get hard, and One who stays, protects and lays down His life for the sheep.
❕Today’s Takeaway: The hired hand runs when it costs him something — the Good Shepherd runs toward you when it costs him everything.
