John 10 · Grade 3
I Know My Sheep
Read the Story
Jesus said a thief climbs into the sheep pen another way, but the shepherd enters by the door. The shepherd calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. They follow him because they know his voice. Jesus said, I am the door. Whoever enters through Me will be saved. The thief comes to steal, but I came that they may have life to the full.
Jesus said, I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired worker runs away when a wolf comes, but Jesus will not. He has other sheep too, and there will be one flock with one shepherd. He will lay down His life and take it up again.
At the Feast of Dedication, people asked if He was the Christ. Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. He gives them eternal life, and no one can snatch them out of His hand. He said, I and the Father are one. Some picked up stones, but Jesus escaped. Many believed in Him.
