Fourth Sunday of Easter

Eastertide

Through the image of the shepherd, we are reminded of God's love, protection and guidance for us. Jesus invites us to a life that is so full and whole that when taken hold of, anything less would be tragic. In John 10:1-10, we are invited to consider our own identity and to question whether we hear and follow the voice of Jesus.

Scripture passage: John 10:1-10

This is week 4 of our Eastertide series

Respond together:

  • Who or what are the voices that I am listening to in my life? Am I able to discern the voice of Jesus as the good shepherd amidst the noise and distractions of the world?

    In what ways can my voice and influence guide others towards the good shepherd?

  • Am I settling for less than ‘life to the full?’ Am I holding onto things that prevent me from fully embracing the abundant life that Jesus offers? Ask the Spirit to reveal if there is anything preventing you from greater relational intimacy with Christ

  • Do I embody the love and compassion of the good shepherd towards those who are in need of his care? How do I love the people around me (family, neighborhood and work)?
