For the first Sunday of no gathering in light of COVID-19, we reflected on John 10:1-42. It’s encouraging how relevant this passage of scripture of text is for our current crisis. In this passage we read two more "I am" statements of Jesus. "I am the good shepherd" and "I am the door." Jesus uses imagery that is central to the heritage of Israel to show that he is the promised Messiah; the shepherd-leader of God's people. Just as sheep return to their shepherd through the door of the sheepfold, those who believe in Jesus enter into a loving, protecting relationship with God. If Jesus is our Shepherd, we have no reason to fear in the midst of any crisis. He will never let us go.
