14"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- 15just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life-only to take it up again. 18No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father." John 10:14-18

What are two images of Jesus used for God's teachings?

There are several images of Jesus used by the Church, namely: The Good Shepherd, The Vine and the Branches, and The Bride of Christ. The Good Shepherd image uses the metaphor of a flock of sheep for the people of the Church. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and he takes care of his sheep. The Vine and the Branches says that Jesus is the vine, we are the branches, God the Father is the planter of the vine. We all stem from Him. The Bride of Christ shows how Jesus is so devoted to the Church (his bride) that he gave his life for her. Hope this helped.
