Jesus is the great shepherd, our chief shepherd. He says that He is the good shepherd who knows His sheep and His sheep know Him. He says that His sheep hear His voice and follow Him. He says that He gives eternal life to His sheep who follow. He says that His sheep will never die and that no-one or nothing can steel them from His hands.
The Lord is my shepherd, I don't need anything else. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me besides quiet waters. He restories my soul. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, You are there with me. Your rod and Your staff comfort me.
We all like sheep have walked away from the Lord, each of us turning to our own way. But the Father has laid on the Son the sins of us all. The Son says that He is the good shepherd, the great shepherd as I have said, who lays down His own life for this sheep. He laid His own life and He obeyed the Father in laying down His life. God the Spirit was there at work to. He says that He seeks the lost and brings back those who have walked away - which is us all. He brings back the broken and He heals the sick. This is the great shepherd Jesus. We were all running away from the Lord, but He has brought us home to Himself: the bishop of us all, the pastor of us all, the pope of us all, the leader of us all, the priest of us all, the prophet of us all, etc.
