Jesus, the Good Shepherd Part 2b

Can you imagine what would happen if there were no umpires in baseball? It would be total mayhem! “You were out”, “no I wasn’t”. “That was a strike”, “It was  ball”. What a mess! Authority is important on the athletic field, and it’s also important in our lives in general. Who is the ultimate authority in your life? I hope your answer is Jesus Christ. Our scripture text today is John chapter ten, as we see Jesus assert His authority.
