JOHN 10:11
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd
lays down his life for the sheep.
PSALM 23:2
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
He makes us lie down in green pastures.
He leads us beside quiet waters.
HE IS THE GATE
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not be lost;
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I will remember His cost.
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not be thirsty;
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I will remember His mercy.
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not be afraid;
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I will remember He is the Gate.
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not settle for less;
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I will remember His faithfulness.
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not follow the herd;
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I will obey His Word.

"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen
by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a
robber. The man who enters by the gate is the shepherd of his
sheep. The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep
listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads
them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on
ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his
voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run
away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."
Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand
what he was telling them.
Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate
for the sheep. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers,
but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate; whoever enters
through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find
pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have
come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
JOHN 10:1-10
