John 10:1-21

Using an illustration about sheep and the shepherd who looks after them, Jesus showed that He came to care for us. If we are His, we will know His voice and follow Him wherever He leads. We will not follow the voice of a false teacher who only wants to steal us away from God and destroy us. Jesus loves us so much that He was willing to lay down His life for us. No one but the Good Shepherd is willing to die for us.

We need to be looked after and cared for. Just like sheep without a shepherd, we would be lost to the world if not for Jesus. Thank Him for caring for you and loving you enough to die for you. Learn His voice, listen for it, and follow wherever it leads. The Good Shepherd will never lead you astray or leave you.
