The Good Shepherd Week 5

The Good Shepherd               John 10:11-16
•         Good (Kalos)-Good Without Limitation or Qualification
•         The-Many Worthy of the Name, But Jesus Alone Justifies the Designation
•         Prophesy Declares Him to be The Shepherd (Gen 49:22-24; John 11:49-52)
•         Giveth his life-Layeth Down or Die Voluntarily
•         For the sheep-The Shepherd Dies That the Sheep May Live (1 Jn 3:16; Matt 20:28)
•         Hireling-Motivated by Selfish Gain
•         Not the shepherd-All Who Proclaim Themselves to be the Door of the sheep
•         Whose own the sheep are not-The Good Shepherd Purchased the Sheep With His Blood
•         Care is Neglected When Pressure Comes
•         Seeth the wolf coming-Any Power Opposed to Christ (Matt 10:16; Acts 20:29)
•         Leaveth the sheep, and fleeth-In the Hour of Real Peril, They Turn & Run
•         The wolf catcheth them and scattereth the sheep-Snatch and Split
•         Careth not for the sheep-Only Cares for Himself
•         A Distinguishing Characteristic of the Shepherd
•         Know-Recognize, Understand; Intimate Relationship
•         My sheep-How Does Jesus Know Us?
•         He Knows Our Names (10:3; 1:42)
•         He Knows Our Nature
•         He Knows Our Needs
•         Am known of mine-How Do We Know Him? (Jn 17:3)
•         By Trusting Him and Getting the Indwelling Holy Spirit
•         By Listening to His Voice (Word)
•         By Experiencing His Daily Care
•         As-A Comparison
•         Father knoweth me…I know the Father-Absolute Equality (Matt 11:27)
•         Obedience of Son-to-Father is the Example Relationship Desired Between Sheep-to-Shepherd (Jn 15:10 & 17:8)
•         And I lay down my life for the sheep-He knows the Price & is Willing to Sacrifice for His Own 
•         Other sheep… not of this fold-Gentiles
•         I have-Ownership Even Before the Formation of the Church
•         Them also I must bring-Guarantee (Eph 2:13)
•         Fold (poimne)-Means Flock
•         To Be fold, the Word Must be gaderah (Lk 2:8)
•         Jesus Laid Down His Life to Break Down Partitions (Gal 3:23)
