The Shepherd of Our Souls
Names of Christ · 6 verses
Jesus declared Himself the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep. The shepherd imagery runs throughout Scripture—the LORD is my shepherd. Jesus is the Chief Shepherd, the Great Shepherd of the sheep brought back from death by the blood of the everlasting covenant. He knows His sheep and is known by them. He calls them by name and leads them out. His sheep hear His voice and follow Him. He gives them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
