Shepherd: A Name Given to Jesus

He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.

Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
