IMAGERS

In part two of this series, we focus on Jesus in John 10 as the Good Shepherd—fulfilling God’s promise to guide, protect, and lay down His life for the flock. Jesus isn’t just a metaphor; He is the model, the prototype of every shepherd-leader who leads not for gain, but for the good of God’s people.

In part one of this Shepherd Leadership series, we trace the biblical roots of the shepherd motif—from Abel and Moses to Ezekiel’s indictment of Israel’s false shepherds and Yahweh’s promise of the coming Good Shepherd.

In this episode, we explore the modern Christian preoccupation with “blessing Israel,” engaging Scripture, church history, and theology to discern whether God’s promises to Abraham are fulfilled exclusively in Christ or extend to the contemporary nation-state of Israel.
