Questions to consider as you read and in refection of sermon: 1. How Does Jesus differentiate himself from others who claim to be shepherds? 2. Who are the thieves and bandit Jesus is talking about? Who or what are they today? 3. How might we - as Jesus’ sheep - learn to be more attentive to Jesus’ voice, and less easily deceived by those who lead us astray?
