Becoming A Faithful Lamb

Text: John 10:14-15; 25-29.

AIMS

  1. To help us understand the importance of faithfulness to God.
  2. To help us understand how much God expects us to be and remain faithful to Him in all ramifications.

INTRODUCTION

A lamb in this context does not suggest the lamb used to portray character of meekness but in this context, a lamb is a believer who is among the sheepfold/fellowship. A faithful lamb is the lamb that hears the voice of the shepherd, follow and obey the shepherd (John 10:27). What a shepherd desire of any lamb is to “be” and “remain” faithful. No one can serve two masters at a time (Matt. 6:24). No shepherd will be happy seeing his lamb among another sheepfold.

As we continue in this study, may the heart desires of our Shepherd be revealed the more to us in Jesus name.
