Episode Details

Why is Jesus explicitly called the Good Shepherd in John’s Gospel, yet the same theme seems less obvious elsewhere?

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores the shepherd imagery woven throughout Scripture and argues that Mark 6 presents Jesus as the Good Shepherd through the feeding of the five thousand.

With compassion for sheep without a shepherd, Jesus teaches the crowds, makes them sit down on green grass, and feeds them until they are satisfied—powerfully echoing Psalm 23 and the promise of Ezekiel 34.
