the names of God: Good Shepherd by ric gustafson
John 10:11- ' I am the good shepherd, the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep'
This name refers to God the Son. When Jesus used this name for himself, he was fulfilling a prophecy of Isaiah 40:11. In John chapter 10, Jesus was telling the Pharisees that he knows his people. He told them that the people know him and that he would die for his flock.
No matter where we have strayed as sheep, Jesus the Good Shepherd will come and look for us his lost sheep. He will not rest until he finds us and brings us back to the flock.
