The Good/True Shepherd

Nelson Boschman with Caitlin Riel and Cassie Gillam (August 28, 2011)

Text: John 9:35-10:21

Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd...so I sacrifice my life for the sheep." When we hear these words, what does the Jesus who springs into our imaginations look like –– a portrait with blurred edges and soft lighting? A cute, cuddly toy? Maybe time for some re-framing. As we conclude our year in John's gospel, we explore the question of what it means to shepherd, lead and use power the way Jesus does. To help us get into 'sheep mode', we hear from Cass and Caitlin, who got to hang out with sheep in Italy this summer.
