The Watching Shepherd

The Good Shepherd narrative in John ch10 is rich with details about Jesus. In fact, He clearly states his purpose and foreshadows His death. V10 details His purpose. V18 notes His future death. It amazes me that many don't know who Jesus was, and try to paint him as just a good man and moral teacher. Scripture is clear! Nowadays, shepherding is not part of our culture as it was 2,000 years ago. The ideas are the same, gathering, protecting and caring. Teachers are more like shepherds today, and students are like sheep (Amen?). Even today, Jesus is shepherding us, protecting us. Don't feel it or believe it? How'd you get where you are in life? Many don't make it to this point. Good to have THE shepherd watching out for us!
