Jesus, the Good Shepherd John 10 BSF Lesson 14

Read Psalm chp 23 in conjunction with this important study. Jesus says He is the Good Shepherd. David prophesied about the Messiah, the Son of God and described Him in very unique ways, by terms and analogies like this that the world has never heard of God being described in before. After listening to this lecture, explain for yourself what a Shepherding God means?

AIM: Jesus the perfect shepherd loves, leads, and guards His sheep now and eternally.
