4th Sunday of Easter

 John 10: 27 – 30 

Why do sheep have a special place in the hearts of the Biblical writers? Well, sheep are associated with honor. They don’t cry out in times of danger, sheering or when being slaughtered. Male sheep guard their females from other males. They are loyal and follow only the voice of the master. And, Jesus was the Lamb of God – he was silent when led to the slaughter. How do we embody these characteristics as followers of Jesus – the sheep of fold? Good Shepherd Sunday challenges us to faithful members of his flock.
