the good shepherd

In the religious context, the good shepherd is often seen as Jesus. He is considered to be like the shepherd who takes care of his flock (the believers).

In Christian doctrine, the term "Good Shepherd" was a reference to Jesus. The phrase "the good shepherd gives up his life for the sheep" reflected the dedication and sacrifice of Jesus to his believers (the sheep symbolizes believers here). Jesus also adhered to this idea during the process of his suffering. For example, when he was arrested by the Pharisees, even though he suffered all kinds of persecutions, he still believed that "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives up his life for the sheep. No one takes my life. I give it up myself." He carried the cross for the world, suffered, was stabbed, and beaten. When he was nailed to the cross, he did not forget to pray to God for the world,"Forgive them, my Heavenly Father, they know nothing." He used his own life to atone for the world, showing a deep love for the flock (believers) and a spirit of self-sacrifice like the Good Shepherd. This spirit of sacrifice established a special connection between Jesus and his believers. Jesus forgave all the sins of the world by sacrificing his life. His blood established a new covenant with God, allowing the world to re-establish a connection with God. His spirit was seen as an interpretation of the image of the "Good Shepherd", and Jesus 'influence surpassed his mere 30 years of life, having an eternal impact on religion and culture.

"The Good Shepherd" had different meanings. In the religious context, the Good Shepherd referred to Jesus, as in the Greek,"I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd gives his life for the sheep"(John 10:11). In addition, there was the Church of the Good Shepherd in New Zealand, which was built by Benjamin Mumford in 1935. There was a bronze statue of a shepherd dog next to it. The name of the church was to commemorate the contribution of the shepherd dog in protecting sheep in New Zealand. There was also a book bar called the Good Shepherd, which provided activities such as exchanges, reading clubs, and English corners. The Shepherd's Tantra novel is equally exciting.

There was a deep contrast between the good shepherd and the hired hand in the Bible. Judging from the way he treated his sheep, the Good Shepherd regarded them as his own. When danger came, the Good Shepherd would not abandon the flock and flee. Instead, he cared for the flock, protected the flock, and even sacrificed his life for the sheep. This reflected the sacrificial love of the Good Shepherd. For example, in the face of danger such as a wolf attack, the employee was not a real shepherd, and the sheep did not belong to him. He would abandon the sheep and run away, causing the wolf to catch the sheep and scatter the sheep. This was because the employee only worked for the salary and did not really care about the sheep. When there was no danger, the Good Shepherd knew every sheep, and the sheep knew the Good Shepherd. This relationship was as close as the relationship between God the Father and Jesus. The Good Shepherd was willing to sacrifice his life for the sheep, even if there was no external danger. This meant that in the church's ministry, there might be many challenges, contradictions, and even grievances and disappointments, but the Good Shepherd was still willing to sacrifice his own interests to love his brothers and sisters. The Good Shepherd was also inclusive. Jesus mentioned that he was not only the Good Shepherd of Israel, but also the Good Shepherd of the gentiles. He wanted to combine the different flocks into one flock for himself. This shows that salvation is broad and not limited to a specific group. On the other hand, hired workers were forced to herd the sheep for their own interests. They lacked the deep love and sense of responsibility of a good shepherd for the sheep. They easily retreated when difficulties came and could not give the sheep enough protection and care. This reminded the preachers or those who had the responsibility of leading others that they should follow the example of the Good Shepherd, have sincere care for the people they led, and take up their responsibilities, instead of pursuing their own interests like employees.
