The last time we were here, we listened as our Lord drew the first lessons from His word painting that opens this chapter. Remember in verses 1-5, there were five elements in the picture: the sheepfold, the door, the people entering the wrong way, the shepherd of the sheep, and the sheep themselves. In verses 6-10, the Lord Jesus highlights the door of the sheep. The sum of the teaching is that He is the door, if we enter by Him we will be saved and we will find continual access to God the Father and His provision for His sheep.
The focus changes at verse 11. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." I. The Good Shepherd Cares For His Sheep (v. 11-16) II. The Good Shepherd Lays down His life for His Sheep (v. 17-18)
