Sunday Service - Traditions

How far are we willing to follow Jesus? In Jesus' time, saying the "I am" statements was radical and socially unacceptable. When he said, "I am the good shepherd," he wasn't making a grand claim but directing our attention. Sheep following a good shepherd stay safe, and choosing to follow the "right" shepherd can make all the difference. In claiming to be the good shepherd, Jesus was also warning us to beware of those who don't care for their sheep, who lead others astray. Are there bad shepherds in your life? We learn that we all have them and to refocus our eyes on Jesus.
