What Now?

John 10

How are we going to follow in the footsteps of our Shepherd?

1. We Listen

The sheep recognize their Shepherd by voice.

You can't hear your Shepherd's voice if you're not listening for it.

We have to allow God's word to guide us!!

Luke 10:3 "Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves."

Everyone is seeking/searching for that Voice.

2. We Respond

John 10:7-10 so He explained it to them: "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through Me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."

Abundant pasture! How do you get there?

Jesus said, "I am the gate!"

John 10:11-18 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don't belong to him and he isn't their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hand runs away because he's working only for the money and doesn't really care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. No one can take my life from me. I sacrifice voluntarily. For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again. For this is what my Father has commanded." 

The access to that life is Jesus!

Jesus is the gate & the Good Shepherd!

Romans 10:9

"Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures."
