* Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd who died on the cross for us – “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
*
Jesus Christ is the Great Shepherd who rose from the dead for us – “May
the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought
back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us
what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20-21).
* Jesus Christ is the
Chief Shepherd who is coming again for us – “Be shepherds of God’s flock
that is under your care, serving as overseers—not because you must, but
because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money,
but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but
being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you
will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away” (1 Peter
5:2-4).
