Shepherd

The mighty God, the LORD
tenderly cares for His sheep
yet they all go away
each to his own way.
The I AM puts on dust
the Shepherd comes in flesh;
to seek His sheep
He becomes one of them -
the Lamb of God
led to the slaughter
offering Himself up
to be crushed for their sins -
so that they would hear Him
follow Him
stay with Him forever;
so that never would their wandering
lead them to perish,
nor Hell nor sin nor Satan
snatch them
out of His hand.

Isaiah 40:10-11
Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and his arm rules for him;
behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms;
he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.

Isaiah 53:6-7
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.

Isaiah 53:5, 10
But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. … Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

John 1:29
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"

John 10:11
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

John 10:27-28
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
