John 10:1-10 New King James Version

1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
     Jesus, please shepherd us.

3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
     Jesus, lead us in and out of the sheepfold by your name.

4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”
     Holy Spirit, help us trust Jesus' voice from among the clamor of other voices.

6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
     Holy Spirit, give us understanding.

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
     Jesus, you are both door and rampart for us.

8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
     Lord, we have ceased following false shepherds. Keep us steady in you.

9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
     Father, please help us know Jesus as door and shepherd.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
     Holy Spirit, help us remember throughout Lent and beyond how Jesus laid his life down for us.

A Word Received: My people, remember me even when the going is hard.
