Shepherd Leadership: Part 2 - Jesus as The Good Shepherd
In part two of this series, we focus on Jesus in John 10 as the Good Shepherd—fulfilling God’s promise to guide, protect, and lay down His life for the flock. Jesus isn’t just a metaphor; He is the model, the prototype of every shepherd-leader who leads not for gain, but for the good of God’s people.
