St Peters Orthodox Church

Christ teaches that He is the Good Shepherd in the Gospel of St. John Chapter 10. In this session we look at what Christ reveals about Himself regarding His being our Good Shepherd. We also looked at how important this image and truth was to the earliest Christians and their worship. Even in the Catacombs of Rome, where Christians worshiped while under Roman persecution, the most prevalent image on the walls was Christ shown as the Shepherd of His sheep.
