C1 - Shepherd
Tracy Sands
Jesus tells us that he is the good shepherd. (John 10:7-18) He lays down his life for his sheep. Also, Jesus tells us in a parable (Matthew 18:10) that our Father, in heaven, is like the shepherd. He wants all of his sheep to be with him and is very happy to find the lost one. (God/Jesus is our shepherd who watches over us. We are his sheep, sometimes lost, but He always loves us.)
The nail, wood, and cross represent the suffering and death of Jesus. Read about Thomas and the nail prints on Jesus’ hands. (John 20:24-29)
