S8E56: One Flock, One Shepherd (Eastertide 2018)

Sermon #278

What is it that connects us as Christians?  Though we may be separated by doctrinal differences into different denominations, we are ultimately one flock, one church, because we have one shepherd, Jesus Christ, who is the head of the church invisible.  As we look at what it means to be a part of the flock of Christ, we discover some things about ourselves.  First, as Jesus is the Good Shepherd, we are his sheep, and so he cares for us enough to lay down his life for us.  Second, as our shepherd, he is intimately connected to us, just as he is connected to the Father.  Jesus, our Good Shepherd, protects us, cares for us, and joins us who follow him as one flock with one shepherd.

John 10:11-18
