Introduction
6 Truths of Jesus
John 10:1-21
Let’s Pray
John 10:1-2
John 10:1-2
Truth #1
Truth #1 - Jesus is the Shepherd
Sheep pens in Israel were either large circles or squares made of stones and rocks.
Some sheep pens have vines that grow above the rock walls
So the shepherd would enter through the door, only a thief and a robber would climb over the rock wall
Think about the example Jesus is giving - its something that the original hearers would have related to.
For us it would be like saying, the homeowner goes through the front door.
Only a thief and a robber would go through the doggie door.
- Unless of course you locked your keys in the house, then you better hope you have some big dogs!
John 10:3-6
Truth #2
Truth #1 - Jesus is the Shepherd
Truth #2 - Jesus knows us by name
Isn’t this a great truth!
Jesus knows each of us by name
Sometimes you can have experiences that will change your perspective.
Like going on Trail Ridge Road - you get to the top of Trail Ridge Road you realize just how small you are as you look across the mountain ranges.
If you have ever flown an airplane - you have the controls in your hand and you look down at all of the people, driving, farming, walking, and you realize just how small you are.
Or maybe you have been on a cruise, out in the ocean and realize just how small you are
With those feelings, it’s hard to feel important - but then you realize that Jesus knows you by name.
You are so important that Jesus calls you out of your life - and you follow Him.
Is Jesus calling your name today?
John 10:7-9
Truth #3
Truth #1 - Jesus is the Shepherd
Truth #2 - Jesus knows us by name
Truth #3 - Jesus is the door
The sheep pens in Israel did not have doors or gates - the shepherd would literally lie down in the doorway and the sheep would have to go through him to come and go out of the pen.
Jesus is the door - Salvation comes from the Lord -
I love verse 9
Not only are we saved - but we can go in and out and find pasture
We are not stuck in the pen - we don’t become Christians and then life is over, tied up and caught.
We are free to come and go out of the pen - we can head out to the pasture.
There is freedom in Jesus
John 10:1
Truth #4
Truth #1 - Jesus is the Shepherd
Truth #2 - Jesus knows us by name
Truth #3 - Jesus is the door
Truth #4 - Jesus came that we might have life abundantly
Isn’t great that Jesus wants us to have life abundantly
While the devil comes to steal and kill and destroy - Jesus comes that we might have life and have it abundantly
What does that look like for you - to have life abundantly?
John 10:11-18
