GOOD SHEPHERD On the walls of underground corridors and cemeteries where early Christians hid from their Roman persecutors, the most ancient representation of the risen Lord was the image of the Good Shepherd. Figures of a beardless young man bearing a lamb on his shoulders or playing a flute gave countless potential martyrs courage at times of great danger. A shepherd leads and protects. Two thousand years later who are our "good shepherds"? Heroic men and women who make advances at great personal cost? Older, wiser people who watch out for us and teach us by their lives? Children who dare to trust? Who is Christ for us today? Text, James A. Wilde, PhD © 1998, OCP. All rights reserved. .
