The Shepherd & His Sheep (John 10:1-21)

Jesus tells a parable about a shepherd and his sheep. And through a series of contrasts—the shepherd & the stranger; the thief & the door; and the good shepherd & the hired hand—he explains his unique role in our lives, and the awesome extent of his love for us.
