THE GOOD SHEPHERD

iv. He always had important truths to teach them (to feed them).
v. He protected them from thieves and robbers.
vi. He risked His life for the sheep when He cleansed the temple that had become a den of thieves.
vii. He knew that they would come and kill and attempt to destroy Him.
viii. But being a true and good Shepherd, He was not afraid of the dangers.
b. “Gives His life for the sheep”
i. Jesus was prepared to die for His flock.
ii. This was how much He loved His sheep.
iii. He knew that He must suffer for the sake of the sheep.
iv. He was totally prepared to give His life for the sheep.
v. Jesus would not only teach this truth, He would also fulfil what He had said.

Without a thought for Himself, Jesus gave Himself totally to care for His flock!
