“Safe in the Sheep Pen”
Children’s Message Object about the Jesus the Good Shepherd
Main Objective: This message focuses on the importance of recognizing that Jesus is our guide, protector, and leader. There are several elements described in this passage from John: sheep know the voice of their shepherd; the Good shepherd guards His flock; a shepherd belongs with His sheep, and anyone else trying to break in will not succeed. The main objective of this message is communication of how we can trust and rely on Jesus.

Law/Gospel Theme: In the Bible, Christ described Himself as the Good Shepherd, willing to guard us and ultimately laying down His life for us. Other people or other ideas attempt to lead us astray or lie to us about what is most important. Jesus is the only one we should put our trust into and listen to. We can take heart in the truth of what Jesus promised, because He already accomplished our salvation through His death and resurrection.

Optional Materials / Object Lesson Props: Stuffed animals (especially sheep) or real pets, pictures of shepherds, items that demonstrate taking care of someone or something.
