What are some of the characteristics we find about the Good Shepherd throughout Scripture?
The Good Shepherd is Personal.
Isai
Notice what the shepherd does in this passage:
Search
Look after them
Rescue them
Bring them into their on land
Give them good grazing land
Search for the strays and brings them back
Binds up the injured
Strengthens the weak
Destroys the ones that don’t need Him
Shepherds with justice
Luk
Other instances of Jesus being called the Shepherd:
1 Peter 2:25
1 Peter
Who is the hired hand?
Could be the religious leaders of the day who perform well in normal times, provided they are paid, but when danger comes, they run away.
:
References the leaders that had bad practices and principles:
their love of self, love of money, and their own bellies
the hireling loves wages more than the work
they do not value the sheep
Isaiah
Those who mind their own safety more than their own duty are easy prey.
John 10
Why is the phrase “and cares nothing for the sheep” emphasized in John’s Gospel?
Here, we have another emphasis on the role of the Christ- “I am the Good Shepherd”
The Lord Jesus is, will be, and forever has been the GOOD SHEPHERD.
Exodus 33:12
How do we know that Jesus is good?
Exodus 33:12-
He knows His sheep.
He is acquainted with all that now are of Him.
There is a mutual relationship be Christ and true believers.
He is able to distinguish those that are His and those that are not.
Christ knows His
Exodus 33:17
Christ is known of them.
There is an eye of faith because they are aware of His love.
1 John
There are two words for GOOD used in Greek:
AGATHOS describes that which is morally good
KALOS describes that which means in the goodness there is a certain charm that makes it lovely.
The intimacy between the Shepherd and the sheep is modeled by the Son and the Father and the trust and love they exemplify.
“I lay down my life for the sheep”
Jesus mentions here of His willingness to die for His sheep.
He also is emphasizing He is willing to be their substitute.
Romans 5:8,
1 Peter
1 Peter
His death gives life.
What does the sheep pen refer to?
The sheep pen refers to Judiasm
The other sheep refers to the Gentiles who are outside the covenant of Israel
Ephesians
We learn from that the church was not to remain a “Jewish flock.”
Peter took the Gospel to the Gentiles as we learn in .
Paul took the Gospel to the far reaches of the Roman Empire.
Jesus died for all, not just the Jewish nation.
One of the hardest things to unlearn is exclusiveness.
Once a people or group get the idea believing that they are privileged, it is hard for them to think that others could also belong.
The Jews believed they were exclusive.
The believed they were God’s chosen people and God had no use for any other nations.
Jesus is saying “there will come a day when everyone will know Him as Shepherd.”
Egerton Young was the first missionary to the native Americans.
In Saskatchewan, he went out and told them of the love of God.
To the Indians, it was like a new revelation.
When the missionary had told his message, an old chief said: ‘When you spoke of the great Spirit just now, did I hear you say, “Our Father”?’ ‘Yes,’ said Egerton Young.
‘That is very new and sweet to me,’ said the chief.
‘We never thought of the great Spirit as Father.
We heard him in the thunder; we saw him in the lightning, the tempest and the blizzard, and we were afraid.
So when you tell us that the great Spirit is our Father, that is very beautiful to us.’
The old man paused, and then he went on, as a glimpse of glory suddenly shone on him.
‘Missionary, did you say that the great Spirit is your Father?’ ‘Yes,’ said the missionary.
‘And,’ said the chief, ‘did you say that he is our Father?’
‘I did,’ said the missionary.
‘Then,’ said the old chief, like a man on whom a dawn of joy had burst, ‘you and I are brothers!’
John 10:17-18
Several Truths about Jesus from verses 17-18:
Jesus’ whole life is about obedience to God the Father.
Jesus always sees the cross and glory together.
He knew He would die, and He knew that He would live again.
Jesus died willingly.
He chose to do so.
Jesus is either lunatic or Lord.
Scripture proves over and over that He was Lord.
Jesus healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted those in sorrow.
The effect of Jesus was not that of a madman.
Millions of lives have been changed because of Jesus.
The weak became strong
The selfish have become selfless
The defeated have become victorious
The worried have experienced peace
The bad have become good
Madness could not produce such a change- only that which is from God could do so.
