As we continue in the "I Am" series Jesus announces He is the True Shepherd. The church is often compared to sheep and Jesus the shepherd. Jesus has established Pastors and Leaders to display shepherd like qualities. Jesus lets it be known that their is one True Shepherd, but every other under shepherd should follow the example that Jesus set. Often times Christians tend to recognize their own faults, but hold those in leadership positions to a different standard. As we go through the differences in a shepherd and hireling we will see that all Christians should display the characteristics of the True Shepherd.
