Jesus declares, 'I am the Good Shepherd,' offering a life of significance, security, and satisfaction to those who follow him. He provides for his sheep, knows them by name, and leads them to green pastures. Jesus' legitimacy, leadership, and loyalty set him apart from false shepherds, and his passion for his sheep is demonstrated in his sacrificial death, which is voluntary, substitutionary, and authoritative. Those who follow Jesus can experience an abundant life, free from harm and filled with joy and peace.
