I Am the Good Shepherd

Scripture: “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” – John 10:11

Devotional:
Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd who knows, protects, and cares for His sheep. Unlike a hired hand who flees at danger, the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep, demonstrating His sacrificial love and commitment.

As His sheep, we are called to trust His guidance, knowing that He leads us to green pastures and still waters. His care is personal and tender, and His ultimate sacrifice ensures our eternal security.

Illustration:
A shepherd risks everything to rescue a single sheep caught in a thicket, showing unwavering devotion. In the same way, Jesus seeks and saves us, even when we wander far from Him. His love is relentless and redemptive.

Challenge:
Reflect on how Jesus has been your Good Shepherd in times of need. Spend time in prayer this week, thanking Him for His care and asking Him to guide your steps.
