The Good Shepherd
Yochanan 10:1–18shepherdkingdomlove
Yeshua is the door of the sheep and the good shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep; the hireling flees when the wolf comes.
The shepherds of Yisrael had become hirelings — they fled when the wolf appeared. Yeshua names Himself the true Shepherd: He calls His sheep by name, and lays down His life by His own authority. No one takes it from Him. He has other sheep not of this fold; one Shepherd, one flock.

- Tehillim 23:1The Lord is my shepherd
