The work of the Good Shepherd is an electing work, a calling work, that begins and ends with a laying down and a taking up.
In John 10, Jesus continues his discourse of the blind seeing, and the seeing becoming blind, but he does it in a very weird way. He calls his sheep, they hear his voice and he does it all through this laying down of himself for the sake of taking it up again and gifting himself to us. A Christ who has gone through the deepest darkest portions of death so that he might gather his sheep.
