Our Need for Protection March 20

Be honest, now … When have you felt protected during a strange or scary situation? Today we look at ultimate protection Jesus is our Good Shepherd

Listen for a contrast. John 10:7-10 (NIV) Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Jesus Is the Gate Jesus said He was the “gate” for the sheep. How could the shepherd be the “gate” for the sheep? What is the significance or purpose of a door or a gate? How has Jesus been like a “gate” in your life? What did Jesus say would be the result of entering through Him?

Jesus Is the Gate How did Jesus contrast His coming with the coming of a thief? What are some common “thieves and robbers” in our lives? How would a thief prey on a “flock” of believers? What would such a thief try to steal?

Jesus Is the Gate What do you think it means to “find pasture?” How has Jesus provided “pasture” for you? Why might unbelievers not see Christians as not having “life abundant” or “life to the full?”  Experiencing God’s abundance will require our faith in and obedience of the Lord

Listen for another “I am”. John 10:11-13 (NIV) "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

Jesus Is the Good Shepherd What differences do you see between the shepherd and the hired hand? When have you felt spiritually attacked and in need of “Good Shepherd” protection? What tempts people to follow a stranger? Why? ShepherdHired Hand

Jesus Is the Good Shepherd How can we better hear and know the voice of Jesus, our Good Shepherd? How can you be a good earthly shepherd to those in your spiritual care?

Jesus Secures Eternally Consider the following names … – George W. Bush – Franklin Graham Do you know these people? – Tony Romo – Glenn Beck Show us some pictures from your wallets or on your phone … how well do you know these people? Listen for how well the shepherd knows his sheep.

John 10:14-15 (NIV) "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep. … 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Listen for how well the shepherd knows his sheep. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one."

Jesus Secures Eternally What type of relationship did Jesus say He had with His sheep? What blessing does the Good Shepherd give to those who follow Him? What makes Christians question their security in Christ? What is our role in accessing and benefiting from Jesus’ protection?

Application Turn to Jesus – If you have never placed your trust in Christ to receive eternal life, do so today – Receive forgiveness of sins and the peace of knowing Jesus’ security

Application Give your fear to Jesus – Identify something in your life causing fear or anxiety – Write it on a piece of paper … with the paper in front of you confess to Jesus this fear and inability to overcome on your own – Place the fear in His hand by tearing up the paper and throwing it away

Application Share Jesus – Ask God to lead you this week to someone who needs to hear the good news that Jesus is our ultimate protection – Ask God to make you sensitive to the opportunities He will provide
