Following the Good Shepherd

  • Jul 2021 Issue

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.—John 10:11

If someone called you a “sheep,” you might be insulted. Well, then, consider yourself warned, because this month we’ll learn that we are all sheep—weak, foolish, and prone to wander.

Thankfully, the complementary truth in Scripture is that God is our Shepherd (Ps. 23:1) and Jesus is our Good Shepherd (John 10:14). My prayer is that through this study we will:

  • Understand the meaning of sheep and shepherds in Scripture.
  • Trust and rejoice in God as our Shepherd, including Christ, our Good Shepherd.
  • Celebrate God’s plan of redemption through Christ, the perfect sacrificial and conquering Lamb.

Your fellow sheep,
