The image
of the Good Shepherd shows us how the risen Christ brings us to life. It
is the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep, one of mutual
knowledge and love, that gives the shepherd authority. The shepherd's
willingness to lay down his life for the sheep shows his love. First
John illustrates what it means to lay down our lives for one another by
the example of sharing our wealth with any sister or brother in need.
