Sermon, 2nd Sunday after Easter, Good Shepherd Sunday, 2025
Christ is our Good Shepherd. He doesn’t herd us from behind, but, since He is everything that is Good, He leads us from out front. He doesn’t ask or force us to go where He Himself does not tread. He suffered and died to bring us into His fold, and He shows and empowers us to follow His godly example. The questions that remain: will we join His flock? will we follow His lead? May His love for us bring us into His fold, and may we always trust Him to guide us safely home.
