Speaker: Pastor Raymond Seow
Scripture: John 10:1-16
 

Introduction
- What/who are you following? 
- The world? Voice of the flesh?
- Jesus says He is the Good Shepherd in contrast to the bad shepherds.

1. The bad shepherd
a. The heavy hand
- Steals, kills and destroys.

b. The hired hand
- Cares nothing for the sheep.

2. The Good Shepherd
a. Why is He good?
- He knows His sheep.
- He protects and feeds His sheep.
- He laid down His life for His sheep.
- He gives us abundant lives.
- He leads us through this world. 

b. How do I follow my Good Shepherd
- Recognise and listen to His voice; follow and obey Him.

• Don’t follow the desires of the flesh/voices from the world.
• Do listen and follow Jesus’ voices and live a godly life.

- Do I really know Him?

• I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. (10:14-15a)
• (1 John 2:3-4) And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (Love others as yourself; love one another)

Conclusion
- You need salvation. Will you listen to Jesus’ voice to believe in Him? Know the Good Shepherd and follow Him to enjoy abundant life.
- Are you led by the Good Shepherd? Resist the flesh and the world, be holy and submit to Jesus. Follow the Good Shepherd and be His disciples.
- Are we good shepherds, too? As parents, teachers, matured Christians? Do we labor bringing other sheep into the sheepfold, God’s Kingdom?
