Jesus portrays shepherds as protectors and guides for the sheep. Likely they served as metaphors of God’s protective and guiding nature. I wonder if there is more here. Perhaps the shepherd has a role to play in our faith. We don’t see many shepherds in most western towns and cities. When I think of shepherds, I think of individuals who knew and protected their sheep. They were very interested in their welfare and wanted to see them grow into adults. It seems that the modern-day shepherds are what we call mentors today.
