Scripture describes Jesus’ spiritual care for us as a shepherd watching over sheep. Sheep are helpless animals—an easy meal for predators. For sheep to survive they need a shepherd to lead them to sources of food and to tangle with the wolf. Jesus is such a shepherd. He laid down his life for his sheep and leads us to the spiritual food of his Word. To be a “pastor” is to be a “shepherd.” Today, there are plenty of people offering to “pastor”, to shepherd our souls. Yet, Scripture warns that “many” of these are “false prophets” who “distort the truth” (Acts 20:30). Many! But the resurrection reality is that our Good Shepherd is faithful. He trains his sheep to hear his voice among the cacophony of voices in the world. Praise be to God!
