Daily Bible Reading—February 2024, God’s Guiding Word: Love

DAY 25 OF 29

February 25

Introduction

John 10:1–21: Jesus uses the images of shepherd, gate, and sheep to describe the relationship between himself and his followers. The sheep know the shepherd’s voice and follow him. Unlike a thief who comes only to steal or destroy, and unlike a hired worker who fails to protect the sheep, Jesus as the good shepherd is willing to die for the sheep. Jesus’s words once again cause division among the people.

Today’s Key Verse: John 10:11

[Jesus said:] “I am the good shepherd, who is willing to die for the sheep.”

Reflect

Jesus says, “I am the gate” (verses 7, 9) and “I am the good shepherd” (verses 11, 14). These two statements are among those that are referred to as the “I am” passages in John’s Gospel, as noted earlier in the reading for February 21. In today’s reading, what do the images of “gate” and “shepherd” convey to you about Jesus?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd, and you were willing to die for my sake. I seek to follow you. Lead me each day with your gentle and loving voice. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

John 10:22–42: Jesus is questioned about his identity.
