2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does Jesus say the good shepherd does that the hired hand does not, and what does he promise his sheep (vv. 27–30)?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Jesus came so that we may have life 'to the full.' Where does your life feel far from full — and whose voice have you been following there?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • The sheep know the shepherd's voice. How will you make space this week to listen to Jesus before you listen to anything else?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Jesus said, 'I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen.' Who are the 'other sheep' in your world he is still calling — and what part can you play?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
