April 26
John 10:11–18
In this week’s focus scripture, Jesus uses the analogy of ashepherd and his flock to describe our relationship with
God and one another. He is teaching us how to be a flock
– to recognize that the shepherd cares for those already a
part of the flock and also “other sheep who do not belong
to this fold” (verse 16). There will be one flock and one
shepherd, Jesus explains. We are one – all loved by God
and called to love one another.
This week, spend some time with animals. If you have
pets, plan to spend some extra time with them – take them
on a hike or to a dog run. If you don’t have pets, plan a
trip to a local farm or zoo to enjoy the animals.
