LESSON TWENTY 27

TOPIC: KEEP THE SHEEP (YOU BEING THE SHEPHERD)

MEMORY VERSE: Luke 2.8 “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.”

BIBLE TEXT: John 10:16-18

16 – And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 – Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 – No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.
LESSON AIM: To let children know the responsibilities of a shepherd.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Jesus Christ is a good shepherd.
INTRODUCTION: Jesus Christ is a good shepherd that lays down His life for the sheep. He said that the reason why the father loves Him is because He died for the sheep. He receives authority to lay His life down and to take it up again for the sheep. Jesus Christ promised to bring all His sheep into one fold so that He can be their shepherd. There should be one fold and one shepherd.
