Imagine God --- John 10:10-18, 12:12-19 It's the beginning of Holy Week! Today, we celebrate Jesus's triumphant entry into Jerusalem to a cheering crowd. This crowd would not be getting a powerful king who would topple Roman rule, however. Jesus instead describes himself as the "Good Shepherd." The shepherd and his sheep is one of the most recurring themes in the Bible particularly when God describes our relationship to the Divine. Using the example of one of the culture's most humble professions, Jesus is proclaiming himself the guide, voice, defender, and rescuer of the world.
