January 27
Introduction
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 Scripture Reading
John 10:1-21
Today’s Key Verse: John 10:11
“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 statements are among those referred to as the “I am” passages in John’s Gospel (see also 6:35, 8:12, 11:25, 14:6, 15:5). 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. Lead me each day with your gentle and loving voice. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Sheep and cattle ranchers
Tomorrow’s Reading
