In this Scripture meditation on John 10, we’ll reflect on Jesus’ words: “I am the Good Shepherd.”

He’s not distant. He’s not just doing a job. He’s personal—attentive. He knows us. And He stays with us, even when life gets hard.

If you’ve ever wondered who’s really looking out for you…
If you need to be reminded that you belong to someone who won’t walk away…
This meditation is a space to settle into that truth.

Through the practice of Lectio Divina, you’ll be invited to:
• Notice how Jesus is caring for you right now
• Reflect on what it means to be known by Him
• Rest in the security of His voice and His love

Let this be a moment to reconnect with the Shepherd who calls you by name—and who promises that no one can snatch you from His hand.

Meditation Text:

John 10:11-15, 27-28, NLT

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. 12 A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. 13 The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, 15 just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep.

27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me.
