John 10:11 - “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” 

He said that someone who is not the true shepherd will not give his own life for the flock… Only the true shepherd is prepared to give his life for them…

Jesus was teaching that He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life… He is the door… No one comes to the Father but through Jesus. There have been many false shepherds that have come and that will come. But the true sheep, the true followers of Christ know His voice and follow Him… He knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. He knows the Father and the Father knows Him.

The thief, the false shepherd, comes only to steal, kill and destroy… But Jesus came to lay His life down and He rose victorious over death, Hell, and the grave for His sheep that we may have abundant life! That we may become Unexpected Warriors
