The Good Shepherd

from Columbus Evangelical Church Sermons · host Michael Sweet

In Gospel of John 10, Jesus makes two shocking claims: “I am the Gate” and “I am the Good Shepherd.” At first they sound like simple metaphors, but in the context of the Old Testament, they carry a far bigger meaning. Jesus isn’t just offering guidance—He’s claiming to be the only way into God’s flock and the Shepherd God promised would come to save His people. No wonder the crowd instantly became divided. Some said He was demon-possessed, while others asked, “Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” The same question still confronts us today: Who do we believe Jesus really is—and if He calls us to follow Him, will we listen to His voice?
