When Jesus declared "I am the Good Shepherd" in John 10, modern ears hear a sweet, peaceful metaphor. But to the 1st-century Jewish crowd standing in the temple courts, his words were a massive cultural shockwave and a direct political challenge to the religious establishment of the day.

Plus I got a dog, a fantastic joke of the week as usual and some very interesting sheep fun facts!
