Jesus is like a good shepherd who cares for his sheep. He knows each sheep by name and will protect them from harm. The story tells of a shepherd who had to go search for one sheep that went missing from the flock. He looked everywhere until he found the lost sheep. The shepherd was overjoyed to bring the sheep back safely to the pen with the others. Jesus wants everyone to know that he will always take care of and protect them, just like the good shepherd cares for his sheep.
