Synopsis: The good shepherd does not just stand out in a field watching sheep. This idyllic view of a shepherd neglects to consider all the very difficult and messy things that a shepherd must do to properly care for the sheep. In this lesson, we’ll look at the messy stuff that shepherds of Jesus’ body must be prepared to cope with.
