We live in a world with many different shepherds. Ideologies, beliefs and people who will lead us where they want to. In John 10 Jesus says that I am the good Shepherd. Evoking imagery from ancient near east practices, Jesus makes a remarkable claim as the one true shepherd who will not only lead the sheep to green pastures, but will do this at the cost of his own life. Join us as we look at another one of Jesus' I am statements in the Gospel of John.
