Jesus is portrayed as a shepherd because shepherds took great care to protect their flocks. They guided them to good pastures and shelter. Often, if there were wild animals in the area of their shelter, the shepherd would lie across the door or gate to protect his sheep. We are to follow Jesus as sheep follow their shepherd. He will guide us in the path of righteousness and give us salvation.
