- Jesus is the Shepherd (who cares for his sheep) v1-10
- Intimate and tender image
- Sheep aren’t the smartest or the strongest
- But, each of us is precious in his sight
- Jesus is the only way in
- He comes to give us life, and every other option leads to death
- Jesus is the Good Shepherd (who dies for his sheep) v11-21
- Jesus has sheep outside Israel and he’s going to gather them in too
- Jesus’ intimate relationship with the sheep is like his relationship with the father
- His father loves him because he is aligned with his fathers plan
- He lays down his life
- No one takes his life from him, he lays it own of his own will
- He will take it up again
