Jesus: The Good Shepherd

Nov 2, 2025    Pastor Craig Lile

Jesus uses an allegory in John 10 to reveal truths about salvation as He contrasts Himself with the Pharisees and asks the crowd to choose. Verses 1-10 uses images of Jesus entering Israel’s sheepfold by the gate and then Jesus as the only true gate. In a third image (verses 11-18), Jesus is shown to be the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep.
