How do we know Christ's role as the shepherd is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's role as the shepherd is affirmed through multiple scriptural testimonies concerning His pursuit and salvation of His lost sheep.

The New Testament consistently presents Jesus as the Good Shepherd, particularly in John 10:14-16, where He claims, 'I know my sheep, and am known of mine.' This intimate knowledge exemplifies Christ's active engagement in the lives of His believers. Furthermore, in Matthew 18:12-14, the emphasis on the shepherd's joy in recovering one lost sheep underscores the depth of His commitment and the certainty of His salvific work for those chosen by God. The assurance that He will not lose one of His sheep (John 10:28-29) speaks to the permanence of His grace.
