Our Lord Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep—willingly, out of love for His people. His sacrifice makes us the sheep of God’s pasture. He continues to love and serve as the Good Shepherd, leading us by the voice of the Gospel and calling all people into the fold. His voice echoes through the words and deeds of His apostles of all ages, who proclaim that “there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
