Jesus - The Good Shepherd, the Great Shepherd, The Chief Shepherd

Ezekiel 34:1-31
God speaks to us in love. He says, ‘I Myself will be the Shepherd of My sheep’(15). We rejoice in His love. We say, ‘The Lord is my Shepherd’(Psalm 23:1). Jesus is our Shepherd. He is ‘the good Shepherd’. He laid down His life for us that we might receive the forgiveness of our sins. ‘Christ died for our sins’. He - ‘the Righteous’- died for us - ‘the unrighteous’- ‘to bring us to God’(John 10:11; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 1 Peter 3:18). He is ‘the great Shepherd’. He was ‘raised’ from the dead’. Through His resurrection, we receive eternal life. He says to us, ‘Because I live you will live also’(Hebrews 13:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:4; John 14:19). He is ‘the chief Shepherd’. He will come again with ‘the unfading crown of glory’ for His ‘good and faithful servants’(1 Peter 5:4; Matthew 25:21).
