I am the good shepherd; I’m willing to die for my sheep
When a hired man, who isn’t a shepherd & doesn’t own the sheep, sees a wolf, he abandons them and the wolf snatches and scatters them. The hired man ran away because he was hired — he didn’t care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep and they know me — with the same intimacy I share with my Father — and I am willing to die for them.
(a portion of John 10, based off the GNT)
