This week’s gospel reading from John focuses on Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd. When Jesus spoke these words his audience were familiar with the image of a shepherd and these eight verses contain so much. In his sermon this week Richard will focus on the first five words of verse 11 and explore the meaning and significance of each one.

Just as a shepherd leads his sheep at different times of the day we can say Jesus the Good Shepherd leads us throughout our days. Christ the Good Shepherd promises to lead, guide and protect us throughout our life’s journey and to bring us safely into his home above. So we must know this good shepherd, for it is only by knowing and following and believing in this shepherd that we hope to receive eternal life.
