"I am the Good Shepherd" - North to Alaska

 

I am the good shepherd.  The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.  The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep.  So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.  the wolf attacks the flock ad scatters it.  The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me -- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father -- and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John 10:11-15

as the first of his works, 
before his deeds of old; 
I was appointed from 

eternity,
from the beginning, before 
the world began.  
When there were no oceans, 
I was given birth, 
when there were no springs 
abounding with water; 
before the mountains were 
settled in place, 
before the hills, I was given 
birth,
 before he made the earth or 
its fields 
or any of the dust of the 
world.
