Read John 10:11-18
11 “I am the good shepherd, who is
willing to die for the sheep. 12When the hired man, who is not a
shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees a wolf coming, he leaves the sheep
and runs away; so the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. 13The
hired man runs away because he is only a hired man and does not care about the
sheep. 14–15I am the good shepherd. As the Father knows me and I
know the Father, in the same way I know my sheep and they know me. And I am
willing to die for them. 16There are other sheep which belong to me
that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them, too; they will listen to my
voice, and they will becomex one flock with one shepherd.
17 “The Father loves me because I am
willing to give up my life, in order that I may receive it back again. 18No
one takes my life away from me. I give it up of my own free will. I have the
right to give it up, and I have the right to take it back. This is what my
Father has commanded me to do.”
Think
In John 9 (just before this)
Jesus heals a blind man and everyone gets angry with him. Jesus shows us that his love is greater than
obsession with the law.
