Scripture References and links for 3  sermonettes 1. Sermon:  Our Great Shepard  To show the Jewish people that he was different from the religious leaders  Jesus used the Shepard as an example to show that he was the only one sent by God to save the Nation of Israel but the whole world.  Three examples that prove  He is the Great Shepard: 1.
