John 10:16 “…they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” In a divided world, this promise shines like light. The Good Shepherd unites His sheep into one flock. Background, race, class, culture—all fade away when we come through the same Door and follow the same Shepherd. What unites us…

1 Peter 2:25 “For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” Sheep wander. It’s in their nature. And we, too, have a tendency to drift. But the Good Shepherd never lets His sheep go too far without pursuing them. He not only saves us;

John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” The world is full of noise. Voices from the news, culture, social media, and even our own doubts compete for attention. But Jesus says His sheep recognize His voice. His words cut through the confusion with clarity, truth, and peace.

John 10:18 “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.” Only Jesus could say these words. Many men have died for noble causes, but none had the authority to rise again by their own power.

John 10:17 “Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.” Jesus wasn’t forced to the cross. He wasn’t a victim of circumstance. He willingly chose to lay down His life. This is why the Father delights in the Son—because His love led Him to obedience.

John 10:16 “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” When Jesus spoke of “other sheep,” He was talking about us—Gentiles who were once outside of the promises of Israel but are

John 10:15 “As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.” Jesus pulls back the curtain here and shows us something amazing. The same closeness that exists between Him and the Father is the closeness He shares with His sheep. Think of it—eternal fellowship,

John 10:12–13 “But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth… The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.” We live in a world filled with “hirelings” — people, systems, and even

John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” When Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd, He wasn’t speaking in vague, poetic terms. He was declaring His willingness to give the ultimate sacrifice — His own life — for the safety of His sheep. Shepherds in Israel would

Luke 13:5  “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” It’s easy to assume that tragedy strikes only those who somehow “deserve” it more than others. But in Luke 13, Jesus confronted that dangerous assumption head-on. When the crowd brought up the Galileans who had been killed by Pilate, or the
