I Am: The Statements of Jesus: I Am the Good Shepherd | Jared Davis

What kind of shepherd lays down his life for the sheep? Not a hired hand. Not just a good leader. The Good Shepherd.This Sunday we explored John 10:11-18, where Jesus makes one of the most profound claims in all of scripture. He does not merely manage the flock from a safe distance. He walks into danger, absorbs the threat, and lays his life down willingly so that his sheep can live. As he says in verse 18, no one takes it from him. He lays it down on his own authority, and he takes it up again.Psalm 23 is not just a comforting poem. It is a portrait of a shepherd who walks with you through the valley, prepares a table in front of your enemies, and makes you lie down when you are too worn out to stop on your own. Jesus is the fulfillment of every word of it.
