The Good Shepherd (Minden)

Confronted with crowds of people confused and divided over who He was, and the meaning of His miracles, Jesus tells another parable for them to connect what they are witnessing unfold in front of them to the prophetic scripture they all knew of the long awaited Messiah. In the parable of the Good Shepherd Jesus reveals His true identity, His purpose, and the outrageous grace of a God that would lay down His own life to rescue His people. In just a few sentences Jesus skillfully unpacks the meaning of His coming death, and the purpose of His sacrifice. (Minden Bible Church message)
