Jesus is the Good Shepherd. But what does that mean?
Here is a story to help illustrate the idea. It's story
told by Jesus Himself.
"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of
them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go
after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he
has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
"And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and
neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my
sheep which was lost!’
"I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven
over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons
who need no repentance." (Luke 15:4-7, NKJV)
