John 10:11 I am the good shepherd.{Isaiah 40:11; Ezekiel 34:11-12,15,22} The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

If a bad shepherd lays down his life for the sheep he does not become the door into the sheep pen why? Because all human sin and fall short of the glory of God. There is only God appointed shepherd without sin, Christ Jesus., and yes, he gave his life for those deserving of death because of love. Love of goodness in life to redeem us from our judgment of death. Christ speak too a much greater thought in context to his words about the sheep pen, and that is, none of the prophets leading too Christ could redeem the human race, and yet here is where the Jews put their faith, not in the Christ.

Acts 8:32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn't open his mouth.

Yes, Christ the Lamb of God allowed God's wrath to passover our deserved judgment by putting faith in the door, the good Shepard of God's own people the Jew's and soon the Gentiles.

John 21:17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?" Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, "Do you have affection for me?" He said to him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep.
