The Human Shield
John 10:11-18, 27-30
"I am the good shepherd The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep."
Jesus became a human so that we would have a shield.
Shepherd's do what they need to do to take care of their sheep.
Everyone has a shepherd, we all look to something.
The sheep needs constant supervision and guidance.
He is our owner because:
- He made us
- He paid a great price to save us
1 Peter 1:18-19
Ownership :
When you belong to them, you belong with them.
Friendship:
He is not a cold, distant owner...He is a friend to us!
He's good, even when you're not.
"If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?" Luke 15:4
"The understanding of God as your shepherd will fill up the greatest holes of your soul, no matter what they are." Timothy Keller
There's nothing more important than your relationship with your Shepherd.
Partnership:
The only one who wants you separated from the flock is the devil.
The wolf wants to destroy the sheep.
Hebrews 10:25
It's not just productivity and safety it's about continuing the mission of the Shepherd's heart.
Celebration of the strength of His grip.
John 10:28 No one will snatch you out of my hand.
Psalm 23
Your only job is to worship.
"The world is full of people who miss their destiny because they wouldn't pay the price." William Barclay
