What turns a group of defeated disciples (read: students)
into a vibrant host of apostles (read: missionaries)? What
sparks dozens, hundreds, and then thousands to adopt a Way of
faith and life so contagious that it multiplies to this day in many
nations and cultures? Luke writes in Acts that...

God, be our shepherd, as in love we shepherd one another. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

Three of the texts use the image of shepherd and sheep. Psalm 23 and John 10 picture the familiar relationship of trust that sheep exhibit toward the shep- herd. The shepherd places himself between the dependent sheep and the aggressive enemy to ward off destruction and exploitation. John 10 and 1 Peter 2 introduce the costly price paid for protection. The sheep’s safety comes with immense and undeserved sacrifice. In 1 Peter 2, the shepherd’s sacrifice makes possible the return of wayward sheep who have wandered away from the shepherd’s protection.
