John 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
A shepherd will look after the flock and try to keep them all safe at all times.
A good shepherd will go one stage further and will put their life on the line for the sheep; putting in that extra energy to get it right!
Jesus Christ came to be our shepherd; not just any old shepherd but our Good Shepherd – one who will look out for us and lay His life down for us!
