  John 10 - KJV Bible​

  This declaration occurred during the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah) in Jerusalem's temple, specifically in Solomon's porch (John 10:22-23). Jesus had been teaching using the shepherd metaphor, claiming to be the good shepherdwho lays down His life for the sheep.
  • Entry to the Sheepfold: Jesus states that only those who enter through the door are legitimate shepherds, while others are thieves (verses 1-2).
  • Shepherd's Relationship with Sheep: The sheep recognize the shepherd's voice and follow him, illustrating the intimate relationship between Jesus and His followers (verses 3-5).
  • Life and Abundance: Jesus declares that He came to give life abundantly, contrasting His purpose with that of thieves who seek to harm (verse 10).
  • Sacrificial Love: The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep, emphasizing His commitment and sacrifice (verses 11-15)
• Love, Walter and Debbie

The sheep part always gets me. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). I used to think I had to have it all figured out before I could follow, but this reads more like being known first. That honestly takes some pressure off for me.
