“The Divine Shepherd”
Unfailing Care, Personal Knowledge, and Secure Salvation
Contrasting Himself with hirelings who abandon the flock in peril, Jesus unveils the tender, protective care of the Good Shepherd. He knows every sheep by name, guides them with His gentle voice, and freely lays down His life to defend them against the wolf.
