This Bible Journaling makes me excited because I drew a cute little sheep! Woo-hoo!
This passage is a good reminder about who Jesus is. In John 10, he tells about how the devil is the thief, and that the thief comes to "kill, steal and destroy" (John 10:10). But he goes beyond just telling us about the evil that is out there he reminds us of who he is.
Jesus tells us "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep" (John 10:11).
Which is exactly what he did. Jesus did not just go around telling us who was our enemy and all the evils that surrounded us. He did not seek out to put us against each other. Instead he came to save. Just as the shepherd does for his flock. The shepherd protects his flock from, seeks out the lost sheep and saves them from the what is unsafe. Just as he does for us. He protects, seeks and saves.
He is the good shepherd.
