Follow The Shepherd Closely in 2023, Part 2 (John 10:1-19): Thieves & The Thief

What were the thieves and robbers that Jesus were referring to? They are the religious leaders of the first century. Jesus highlights that they are bad shepherds of God’s people. They have malicious motives. They are robbing God’s sheep from Him and leading them astray. Jesus presents himself to the Jewish nation and calls them individually to put their faith in him as the good shepherd. In doing so, they would truly hear the voice of God and Jesus would lead them to abundant life. I pray you put your faith in Jesus as your good shepherd.
