A.     The Shepherds Heart (v.11-18)
*/God Foretold That He Would Send A Shepherd To Save And To Take Care Of His People/*
/“Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.
He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young”/ (Isaiah 40:10-11, NKJV)
/“Therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them— My servant David.
He shall feed them and be their shepherd./"
(Ezekiel 34:22-23, NKJV)
/“They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them.
Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
“David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them./"
(Ezekiel 37:23-24)
“/The Lord their God will save them in that day, as the flock of His people.
For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, Lifted like a banner over His land—/" (Zechariah 9:16, NKJV)
        
1.
The Good Shepherd “Jesus Christ”—God, the Shepherd (v.11)
 
/a)        //I am the good shepherd (v.11)/
 
1)        Jesus’ Work As The Shepherd Is Fourfold.
(a)      Jesus Christ is the /Good Shepherd/.
He is called “good” because He risks and sacrifices His life for the sheep (John 10:11, 15; cp.
Psalm 22).
*/Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good?
No one is good but One, that is, God./" (Mark 10:17-18) *
*/Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning./"
(James 1:17) *
*/Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground./"
(Psalm 143:10, NASB95) *
(b)      Jesus Christ is the /Great Shepherd/.
He is called “great” because He arose from the dead, and He perfects the sheep (Hebrews 13:20-21).
(c)      Jesus Christ is the /Shepherd and Guardian /of our souls.
He is called the “shepherd and bishop” because He welcomes those who wandered off and went astray (1 Peter 2:25).
(d)      Jesus Christ is the /Chief Shepherd/.
He is called “chief” because He is to appear and return to earth with great glory and reward the faithful (1 Peter 5:4)
(e)      /God also is called a Shepherd in Scripture/ (Genesis 48:15; Psalm 23:1; Psalm 77:20; Psalm 80:1; Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:11-31).
2.
The Meaning of “Good Shepherd” (v.11-13)
 
/a)        //He gives His life for the sheep (v.11)/
 
1)        The Substitutionary Death of Jesus Christ (v.11)—/“for”/ (huper) it is a word with profound meaning when used with the death of Christ (Cp.
Romans 8:32; Galatians 1:4; Galatians 2:20; Ephes.
5:2; 1 Tim.
2:6; Titus 2:14.)
(a)      It does /not mean/ that Christ died only as an example for us, showing us how we should be willing to die for the truth or for some great cause.
What it means is that Christ died /in our place, in our stead, in our room, as our substitute/.
*/I am the living bread which came down from heaven.
If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”/"
(John 6:51, NKJV) *
*/And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth./"
(John 17:19, NKJV) *
*/I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep./"
(John 10:11) *
*/As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep./"
(John 10:15, NKJV) *
 
2)        Jesus Suffered /“for”/ Us, Leaving Us An Example (1 Peter 2:21-25)
 
3)        Our Response To God—A Life of Sacrifice Is One of (v.11):
(a)      Losing Your Life (Mark 8:34-38)
(b)      Living Your Life for God (Romans 12:1-2; 1Cor.5:14-15)
(c)      Offering Up Spiritual Sacrifices To God (1Pet.2:5)
(d)      A Sacrificial Life Is One Of Servanthood.
/Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”"
(Matthew 20:28, NASB95) /
(e)      *A Sacrificial Love Is One Of Forgiveness.*
/Therefore, //Be imitators of God… and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma./"
(Ephesians 5:1-2)
(f)       A Sacrificial Life Is One Who Thinks Of Others (Esther 4:11-16).
/By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.
And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."
(1 John 3:16) /
(g)      Jesus Says There Is No Greater Love (John 15:13).
/Christ died for the ungodly.
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
(Romans 5:6-8, NKJV) /
(h)      Jesus asks us, “Will you lay down your life for My Sake?” (John 13:36-38)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Good Shepherd
John 10:11-21—Pt.2
Review of Last Week: /The Good Shepherd, gives His Life for the sheep (v.11) /
 
1.
The Meaning of  “Good Shepherd” (v.11-13)
 
/a)        //A hireling, not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, leaves the sheep and flees (v.12)/
 
1)        Not A Hired Or Employed Shepherd (v.12-13)
               /D//efinition of Hireling/—(1) One who works solely for compensation, especially a person willing to perform for a fee, tasks considered menial or offensive; (2) a person who serves for hire motivated solely by a desire for material gain.
It expresses, not only one who has /no real interest in his duty/, but one who is /unfaithful in the discharge of it./
(a)      The True Shepherd Considers The Sheep In His Care “His Own”/ /even if he does not actually “own” them.
The mere “hireling” does not feel so.
(b)      The False, Unfaithful, Irresponsible Shepherd Has Little Sense Of Responsibility for the sheep.
He seeks to benefit self, not the sheep.
Þ   His primary interest is not the sheep but what he can get out of it.
Þ    He values himself much more than the sheep (Luke 15:1-3 esp.v.2)
Þ    He seeks His own things and not the things of others (Phil.2:3-4; 1 Cor.
10:24)
 
(c)      He Sees Danger—Acts Cowardly, Flees (v.12b).
1.
/A Hired Helper Was Not Responsible For Attacks From Wild Animals (Ex 22:13).
/
/“For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand.
But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in pieces.
“Woe to the worthless shepherd, who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye; His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded.”/
(Zechariah 11:16-17, NKJV)
/ /
(d)      He Causes The Sheep To Be Caught—in Error (v.12c).
The true shepherd will die for the sheep, the hireling would rather the sheep die.
Some of the sheep are ravaged and eaten by the dangerous wolf.
1.
The wolf is any thing or any power that seeks to destroy the sheep, such as worldliness, false teaching, and carnal men.
