Our Lord Jesus Christ tells us today in the Gospel of the fourth Sunday of Easter that He is the Good Shepherd. He immediately defines what the Good Shepherd does. He lays down His life for His sheep. We need such a shepherd since we are limited in knowledge and virtue. We need to learn from those who can guide us. This trip to Heaven is full of strange paths, unknown bends, turns, and so forth. The one who can guide us must be the one who has gone there and has been there. Jesus is God who became Man. He comes from Heaven. He knows the way.
