Study Questions
John 10

1. Why did Jesus refer to those who truly believe and follow Him as ‘sheep’? What qualities do people have that are analogous to sheep?

2. Identify the things that God promises as the Good Shepherd in Psalm 23.

3. According to John 10, what do we learn about those who do not recognize nor listen to the ‘Shepherd’s voice’?

4. Jesus said that He ‘knows those who are His’ (John 10:14-15) and that He ‘laid down His life’ for them. What is He referring to? Read Ezekiel 16:1-7 and discuss the type of loving relationship Jesus has for you, His follower.

5. Jesus said, “My sheep recognize My voice and they follow Me”. How does Scripture teach us what it means to ‘follow’ Christ? (See Luke 11:28; Matthew 7:24; Jeremiah 33:3; John 16:13; Proverbs 3:5-6.)

6. What are some misleading/dangerous ‘voices’ in our culture today?

7. Describe a time when you’ve wandered from following the Lord Jesus. What lured you away from hearing His voice? What did the Lord Jesus do to bring you back? Do you feel restored and accepted by Him? Why/why not?

8. What will you do this week in order to more clearly hear the voice of the Lord Jesus, your Good Shepherd?
