As you read through the scriptures you often find this tension: when there was no king in Israel, everyone did what was right in their own eyes; when there were kings, the kings were corrupt. No one in charge led to anarchy; kings and rulers led to an abuse of power. But in Ezekiel 34, God’s promised solution is both that he would be the shepherd of his sheep and that he would set up a ruler in the line of King David. This is the context of John 10, in which we find that God’s fulfillment of this promise is found in Jesus—the son of David according to the flesh, the Son of God from all eternity—coming to shepherd his people as the Good Shepherd. In this sermon on John 10:1–18, listen as Pastor Luke Herche expands on this under four headings: The Voice of the Good Shepherd, The Purpose of the Good Shepherd, The Method of the Good Shepherd, and The Flock of the Good Shepherd.
