“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 10:11 (NIV)

Who is the Good Shepard? Jesus is the Good Shepherd. The Greek word kalos translates to good, noble, and beautiful. The Good Shepherd describes Jesus’ inherent goodness and righteousness. He guides and nurtures His flock.
Sheep are defenseless, dependent upon the shepherd’s protection and guidance. Jesus the Good Shepard is our guide and protector. He loves us so much that he laid down His life for our sins.

“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me,

John 10:14 (NLT)

Jesus is God; He is able to protect and guide believers. He will never abandon us; He gives us eternal life.

7Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. a They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 10:7-11

Follow Me: John 10:27

My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, they’ll never be lost, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

John 10:27-28(ISV)

Sheep recognize the voice of the one that feeds, guides, and protects them. Jesus is our Good Shepherd; He leads and protects us, His flock. He knows us by name and guides us, showing us the right way to live.

We learn to recognize Jesus’ voice and listen to His directions, obeying His commands. He gives us (His Sheep) protection and eternal life. No one can steal any of Jesus the Good Shepherd’s followers, for we are protected; God is great and in control.

Follow me (Jesus) for protection, guidance, and eternal life.

My sheep recognize my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them real and eternal life. They are protected from the Destroyer for good. No one can steal them from out of my hand.

John 10:27-28 (MSG)
