Let's find out why Jesus calls himself that and what he does in our life because of this truth! Since you and I are identified as sheep, what does that mean? Are you encouraged or do you feel kind of put down by that association? I am believing that as we look at these verses together we will become more in love with Jesus! Who freely gave his life for the sheep! Thank you," GOOD" SHEPHERD!

Week 4 of 7 in the "I AM" series of Jesus in the Gospel of John, Chapter 10, "I am the gate.  Whoever enters through me will be saved."  Jesus goes on to say, "The one who enters by the gate is the Shepherd of the sheep... the sheep listen to my voice.  I call them by name and lead them out... they will come in and go out and find pasture."

I loved 'show and tell' in grade school. When it was your day to 'show and tell' it was an opportunity to bring to class your most favorite thing, talk (tell) about it, then reveal it (show). It was always exciting to hear and see what others would bring.
Jesus brings to the world and to us the greatest and most profound show and tell the world has ever known: God's love. He talks about it, "God loves the world and you so much that he sent me, to save you, bringing abundant and eternal life."
And then Jesus shows the world and us God's love. He washes the disciples' feet and says, "Do the same." He says, "Love your enemies" saying, "Father forgive them for they know now what they do" and then dies on cross for others, teaching all the while, "Lay down your life for others."
Then Jesus rises again, appearing to the disciples, "See my hands, my feet, my side?!" And they are reminded again of God's love, "I am the resurrection and the life." Jesus is the greatest 'show and tell' the world has ever known, both telling and showing God's love.

It's been a wonderful week of light.  Spring is coming and the warmth is noticeable, giving light to our world.  A rare event of eclipse happened across the United States and our world.  People flocked to this event, looking to the sun to see this wonder.  
Jesus says in John 8:12, "I AM the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will see the light of life."  That sounds important and wonderful.

Sunday we begin a 10 week series to tie a bow on our 5 month series on the Gospel of John, by looking back and seeking understanding of what Jesus was talking about in his ministry and teachings with the seven 'I am' claims (the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Resurrection and the Life, the Gate, the Good Shepherd, the Vine, and the Way/Truth/Life).

Sunday we will return for worship to celebrate Jesus' resurrection!  Jesus' resurrection opens the door to light and life as he reveals himself to be the hinge of all history, his resurrection marks the 'turning of the tide', opening the door to our rescue, redemption, reconciliation, restoration, renewal, and our own resurrection.  Jesus' death and resurrection changes everything!
