 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. 12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock.John 10:11-12A hired hand tends the sheep for money, while the shepherd does it out of love. The shepherd owns the sheep and is committed to them. Jesus is not merely doing a job; he is committed to love us and even lay down his life for us. False teachers and false prophets do not have this commitment.--- Life Application Study Bible notesPRAYERDear Lord,Thank You for showing us that the heart of godly leadership is sacrifice and service.I praise You, Lord Jesus, for Your sacrificial love.You value the life of Your followers above Your own.I ask for the humility I need that I may listen for the voice of the Good Shepherd, allowing Him to lead me.Show me the path to pursue and help me to be a better follower.In Jesus’ name,Amen
