Summary
Chapter 12 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by the Gospels.
The Good Shepherd - Jesus is faced with a challenge. Does he choose justice and be seen as a tyrant, or does he choose mercy and lose his credibility as a Rabbi? While any other person would have to choose between the two, Jesus does not. He balances love and justice like a good shepherd.
Today's opening prayer is inspired by John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
