Devotional Thoughts about John 10:1-30
Here we find two of the most compelling metaphors of Jesus in the Bible—as the Good Shepherd who gave His life for and cares for those who follow Him, and as the Door through which they enter His care. These concrete word pictures are probably more accessible for children (once they know what a shepherd is) than are some of the other “I-am” metaphors in the Gospel of John.
This chapter emphasizes the interpersonal nature of the relationship between Jesus and those in His care: the familiarity between them, His fierce love for and protection of them, and their unity as one fold under one shepherd.
It also describes Jesus’ relationship to the Father, which aggravated His enemies to the point that they grabbed stones to kill Him for claiming to be the Son of God. In this case He escaped their clutches.
Lord, thank You that I’m a sheep in Your fold. Help me to follow You and to trust You.
