Sheep die for the sake of the shepherd's way of life. Similarly, kings are served. They aren't servants. Jesus turns all of those things on their heads. In being the Good Shepherd, he turns shepherding on its head just as he turns kingship on its head. We should at some point start conceptualizing a better reality than they one we create for ourselves. The one that God creates for us was made for us by the good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep.
