“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
Few people, including the disciples before the Day of Pentecost, clearly understood the reasons behind Jesus’ crucifixion. A major emphasis of Christ’s ministry was to show the Jews that He came to redeem the despised Gentiles as well as the Jews. This passage in John 10 clearly points to Jesus’ death for both the Jews and the Gentiles (v. 16).
Thank the Father that He has a shepherd’s heart. Thank Him that we experience His love and care daily. Pray that the Holy Spirit will remind us each day to pray for those unreached peoples who still have no opportunity to become part of His flock. Fill our hearts with His love for them.
