Of the many titles by which Jesus could be known, none are more tender, powerful, or illuminating than the Shepherd and the Lamb. In The Shepherd and the Lamb: Our Covenant Hope in Christ, Elder Gerrit W. Gong shares insights on these powerfully complementary, symbolic titles of the Savior. Elder Gong writes, “As our Good Shepherd and the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ succors and saves. He lifts and liberates. He rises above and descends below all things.” To help readers better understand these two roles of our Savior, Elder Gong examines the unique blessings that Jesus Christ offers. As our Good Shepherd, He calls and gathers His sheep to Him. He ministers to the one and strengthens us as we reach out to each other. As the Lamb of God, He restores that which was lost and should be found. He forgives and brings reconciliation. He delivers and redeems. He makes covenant belonging possible. Through the messages found on its pages, The Shepherd and the Lamb, is also an invitation to each one of us—an invitation to discover how coming to Jesus Christ as the Shepherd and the Lamb fires our faith, hopes, and spiritual imagination, how it lends perspective to our lived experiences and our faith-filled future. Jesus Christ is the Light and the Life of the World. He is the Father and the Son. He is the Shepherd and the Lamb.
