The Shepherd Who Stays

Jn. 10:11-18

Bible Talk Outline

◊ He stays to sacrifice—Jesus’ commitment is total

◦ because he is “good”—faithful character is essential (v. 11)

◦ because we “belong” to him—bonded relationship is

paramount (v. 12a, 13-15)

◦ because “attacks” and “scattering” kill—holy community

must be protected (v. 12b)

Do we stay sacrificially committed to the faith community?

◊ He stays to multiply---God’s Kingdom expanded (v. 16)

Do we stay excitedly committed to Kingdom expansion?

◊ He stays to fulfill—Jesus’ mission is accomplished

◦ because of his relationship with the Father—loving God is

the greatest motive (v. 17a)

◦ because he “can take…up” his life—the resurrection is

the greatest victory (v. 17b-18a)

◦ because he treasures the Father’s will—God’s will is the

greatest goal (v. 18b)

Do we stay lovingly committed to God’s will?
