The Good Shepherd


“The Good Shepherd ,” Medieval Art, accessed April 26, 2020, http://projects.leadr.msu.edu/medievalart/items/show/15.
Today's Gospel is from the tenth chapter of the Gospel of John (10:11-16):
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.
The image here is a fifth-century mosaic in a mausoleum in Ravenna, Italy.  Note that the sheep are all looking at Jesus, the shepherd, who is sitting in a pasture but wearing royal robes.  The shepherd is also a king.
