Break the group into three different groups, having each one focus on the three groups of verses. If you have a large group, you may break it down further, with multiple groups working on the same verses. The first group should discuss what Jesus was trying to say to the Pharisees and why they might not have understood it the way Jesus said it. The second group should discuss the differences between the shepherd and the hired hand. The third group should discuss the relationship between the shepherd and his flock compared to the relationship between the shepherd and his father (God). Ask groups to report on their discussion. Continue the lesson by giving a mini-lecture based in the information in Insights from Scripture. APPLY: (10–15 minutes) Say: Remember the walk we did at the beginning?
