In this exposition of John 10:11–18, Zack DiPrima explores Jesus’ declaration, “I am the good shepherd,” emphasizing both Christ’s sacrificial love and His relentless pursuit of His people. Contrasting the Good Shepherd with false shepherds and hired hands, the sermon demonstrates that Jesus knows His sheep, loves them with an intimate covenantal love, and willingly lays down His life to secure their salvation. Drawing from Ezekiel 34, Ephesians 2, Hebrews 13, 1 Peter 2, and other passages, the message highlights God’s sovereign plan of redemption, Christ’s ongoing work of gathering one flock from every nation, and the believer’s identity as part of His redeemed people. Christians are encouraged to trust the Shepherd’s providence, walk in joyful obedience, love Christ’s church, and rest in the faithful care of the One who laid down His life and still seeks His sheep.
