What does it mean that Jesus is our shield?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus being our shield means He protects us from spiritual attacks and the wrath of God.

The concept of Jesus as our shield signifies His role in protecting believers from both external attacks and internal struggles. In Psalm 84, the prayer to behold God as our shield illustrates the trust believers place in Christ to defend them against the assaults of the enemy, such as sin and temptation. Not only does He shield us from the enemy's darts, but He also absorbs the wrath of God that would otherwise befall us due to our sins. This protection allows believers to find refuge and security in Christ, highlighting the significance of His sacrifice and intercession on our behalf.
