He's Not Irritated That He Has to Forgive You | Bayside Church

She grabbed his legs as he was being sucked out of a plane at 30,000 feet. She saved his life. And Pastor Kevin Thompson is pretty sure they'll be divorced in 10 years because we resent the people we have to save. But Jesus doesn't. In this message from John 10, Pastor Kevin Thompson unpacks the Good Shepherd passage and confronts one of the most quietly destructive lies Christians believe: that Jesus resents having to forgive you again. That He's like a grumpy neighbor who saved your life but holds it over your head forever. That His commands are restrictions on your fun rather than invitations to flourishing. Jesus said the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy but He came to give life to the full. Both the thief and the shepherd are offering you life. The difference? The shepherd is the only one willing to die for you. Five times in this passage Jesus says "I lay down my life." Your job won't do that. Your sport won't do that. Your platform won't do that. When the diagnosis comes, your employer will bring the casserole and interview your replacement on the way home. Pastor Kevin also shares the time someone rushed his stage mid-sermon in Seattle, why crisis reveals leadership, and the moment he realized he could resent the very people he was called to serve. This message will change how you hear the voice of God and help you stop following the ones that were never willing to sacrifice for you.
