    We all like to make our own estimations of what we think God is like. This passage is a reminder to us that we must accept God for who He is, not who we wish He was.

    Three Questions About Our Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 24, 2021
     | 2,594 views

    There is a lot in this passage. This message tries to boil it down to the big truths by asking three questions about our "good shepherd."

There is conflicting imagery (how is Jesus the shepherd and the gate?). It is difficult to get all the pieces to fit cleanly. - I echo a little the sentiment of v. 6 ...read more
