John 10:1-21

1. 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
2. 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
