The Good Shepherd

He is God in the flesh.
Psalm 80:1 “Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.”
Ezekiel 34:23 “And I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd.”
He lays down His life for the sheep.
1 Peter 2:24–25 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
Isaiah 53:6 “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
He cares for the sheep.
Isaiah 40:11 “He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.”
Ezekiel 34:12 “As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness.”

The Good Shepherd’s One Flock

Jesus said there would be one flock and one Shepherd.
See John 17:17-23...
See Galatians 3:7-9...
See Ephesians 2:11-22...

The Good Shepherd’s Power Over Life and Death

Since Jesus has power over life and death, our salvation is secure.
Romans 6:9 “We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.”
Romans 8:34 “Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.”
Hebrews 7:25 “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.”

Division Over the Good Shepherd
