On this Good Shepherd Sunday, we consider Jesus’ words from John 10 and the costly care that He gives to His flock. A hired hand cares more for his own wellbeing than for that of the flock, so when danger comes, he flees. The good shepherd cares for the wellbeing of the flock – and Jesus demonstrates this by laying down His life so that His sheep may live. As recipients of His costly care, and as people who are secure in that care, we imitate His care in our lives with one another.
