How do we know Christ's work as our shepherd is true?

Answered in 1 source

We know Christ's work as our shepherd is true through the fulfillment of Scriptures and His sacrificial love for us.

The truth of Christ's role as our shepherd is grounded in biblical fulfillment and the historical reality of His incarnation and sacrifice. In John 10:11, Jesus declares, 'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.' This statement affirms that His sacrificial death is the ultimate evidence of His commitment to us. Additionally, Old Testament prophecies about the coming shepherd are realized in Christ, validating His identity and mission. The transformative work He accomplishes in the lives of believers, through regeneration and assurance of eternal life, further reinforces the truth of His shepherding role.
