John 10:14 – I AM the Good Shepherd

John 10:14
I am the GOOD SHEPHERD , and I know My own and My own know Me… and I lay down My life for the sheep.

One of my best friends in High School raises sheep in upper Wisconsin. A lot of work, but he loves it.

I’m drawn to the image of THE GOOD SHEPHERD mostly because of what it says about Jesus’ active role in our lines.

Jesus:

  • protects
  • guides
  • nurtures
  • lays down his life for us

What’s not to like about any of that?

Of course, that means we are the sheep, and sheep are dumb, helpless, and utterly lost without their shepherd. I guess that says a lot about US.
