When in doubt, hold on to this truth: "Jesus is the good shepherd, and I can trust Him."

What does it mean to be "the good shepherd?"

The sheep of a flock have a relationship with their shepherd. They depend on him for all their needs. He protects them from dangerous situations, and he helps them when they get themselves into trouble. He knows each of them by name, and he knows their individual strengths and weaknesses. He disciplines his sheep when they act out. A good shepherd consistently chooses what is best for his flock.
