The greatest love of the Good Shepherd

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends”  (John 15:13). Jesus comes to us, and to the departed with this message. A shepherd not only knows each sheep and does everything in his power to protect them, he’s also willing to give his life for them.

The Good Shepherd wasn’t just willing to give His life - He went through with it, for the sake of our sins. (Isaiah 53:6). When we come to recognize the magnitude of what Christ did for us on the cross, we can more profoundly experience His presence in Holy Communion.
