Jesus in John 10:11a, Jesus said “I am the Good Shepherd”, A Shepherd is one who rears and lend sheep. Christ has demonstrated that a good shepherd:

Gives His life for the Sheep- He is the risk bearer and defends the flock always (John 10:11b)

He protects the sheep from incoming trouble and danger especially strange doctrines, divisions and the influence of satanic manipulations. (John  10:12-13).

He knows His sheep and they also know Him (John 10:14-15)

In the following the Good Shepherd, let us learn to feed the flock of Christ with the undiluted Word of God. Our Lord was empathetic to the crowd and feed them with five loaves and two fishes. He prayed and visited them in times of need.

Let us embrace this attitude of our Master in relating with one another and leading the flock of God. Indeed, there is joy in following Christ’s footstep and greater blessings shall be our portion in Jesus Name, Amen.
