Teaching focus: Yahusha is the Good Shepherd and the Door. The way into life is narrow, holy, and protected by YAHUAH. We must enter while the way is open, follow the voice of the Shepherd, and walk the Highway of Holiness.

- John 10:11–18 — Yahusha reveals Himself as the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep.
- Matthew 7:13–14 (KJV) — The gate to life is strait and narrow, and few find it.
- Matthew 19:24 (KJV) — It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Elohiym.

1. YAHUAH Promises To Shepherd His Own Sheep — Ezekiel 34
Ezekiel 34 shows YAHUAH’s heart against corrupt shepherding. The shepherds of Yashar’el were feeding themselves instead of feeding the flock. They did not strengthen the weak, heal the sick, bind up the broken, bring back the driven away, or seek the lost.

Teaching point: YAHUAH does not abandon His scattered sheep. When human shepherds fail, YAHUAH Himself rises up as Shepherd, Judge, Healer, Gatherer, and King.
