John 10:11-18 ~ I am the Good Shepherd

Text: John 10:11-18
Title: I am the Good Shepherd
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower
From the opening verses of the gospel of John, it is clear that Jesus is God. John stresses Jesus’ unique relationship with God so people would believe Jesus was who he said he was. In the gospel, Jesus claims his divinity by using the phrase I Am seven times, joining the phrase to tremendous metaphors, expressing His saving relationship toward the world and showing that He is everything we need. During this Lenten season we will look at each of these 7 I Am statements. We began on Ash Wednesday considering how Jesus is the bread of life and today we see how Jesus is the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep.
