He has given His life for me so that I can have eternal life. He will never leave me, even when things get tough. He is the one who will always guide me.
3. What does Jesus reveal about the future of his flock (v. 16)? In what ways do you feel a part of "one flock" under "one shepherd"?
One day all believers will be together with Him. I know that there are believers all over the world who worship the same Christ I do, and they are striving to live for Christ just like I am.
4. Why do you think Jesus stresses that he lays down his life of his own accord (vv. 17-18)?
Because it shows that He was a willing sacrifice, that He is God, and has power over life and death. That is great news for us who are trusting in His death and resurrection for our eternal hope.
