The age-old symbol of the good shepherd has brought peace and comfort to the hearts of many throughout the years. The strong and watchful keeper of the flock, who knows His sheep and is known by them, guides the sheep to green pastures and to still waters where they can graze and safely drink. He gathers them before the approaching storm and searches for those that may be lost. He places Himself between danger and the flock He tends. His sheep recognize His voice, and His call is a call to peace, safety, and contentment.
