Jesus said, “The one who enters through the gate is shepherd of the sheep; the keeper opens the gate for him. The sheep hear his voice as he calls his own by name and leads them out.”
John 10.30-31
The shepherd allegory offers the intimacy between shepherd and sheep as an image of the relationship between Jesus and believers. The sheep know the shepherd’s voice. The shepherd and sheep walk and pasture together, live together, make life possible for each other.
How do you shepherd others in your life?
