Jesus is a different shepherd!!! He will never leave us, His sheep. No matter what the danger is, He will stand by us and protect us. Jesus is indeed our good shepherd. He went to the cross and died so that we might have eternal life. What better protection than that could any shepherd give? The wolf in our case was Satan. His desire is to hurt us and drag us down to hell. He doesn’t care for us.
Many people today follow Satan. They don’t seem to realize that their destination for following him is hell. Not a very good reward for following someone is it? Those of us who follow the good shepherd, Jesus, will one day go where he is and spend eternity with Him. He said before He went away that He was preparing us a place. (John 14:1-3) The choice is yours today. Heaven with Jesus, or hell with Satan. Choose wisely.
