"This study is divided into several sections. First I will present what is known concerning the setting and audience for the Good Shepherd sermon in John 10, including Old Testament background. Next I will discuss the actual parable of the good shepherd found in John 10:1-5 as well as Jesus's interpretation and application of it, sharing insights from what is known about ancient shepherding. After this I will analyze what Jesus taught in his Good Shepherd sermon about his other sheep as well as modern interpretations of these teachings. Lastly, I will present what the resurrected Jesus revealed to his Nephite disciples about his discussion of other sheep with his original Jewish audience as recorded in 3 Nephi 15-16, with respect to the Nephites as a people but also to others as well. I will also examine other features of this conversation with the Nephite disciples that may provide clues to more clearly identify the audience to whom he gave his Good Shepherd sermon. My hope is that bringing together all elements of Christ's teachings concerning his other sheep, in both the Old and New Worlds, will promote better understanding of the Good Shepherd sermon as well as the supplementary teachings of the Savior from modern scripture. This increased understanding can also provide a greater appreciation for the great love that the Savior has for all his children, no matter where they may live." [Abstract from text]
