A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” A good shepherd, he explained, is nothing like a hired hand who runs when the wolf comes. He calls his own sheep by name and walks ahead of them, and they follow because they know his voice. For two thousand years, the faithful have treasured this tender image — Christ who searches for the lost, carries the weary, and holds every lamb close to his heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Good Shepherd reminds us that \u003cb\u003eJesus knows each of us by name, and never leaves us behind\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGood Shepherd Sunday — Fourth Sunday of Easter | Inspired by John 10:11–18\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/littledropsofwater.com\/blogs\/itsfuntobecatholicblog\/he-is-risen-joy-of-easter-morning\"\u003eThe Good Shepherd, the Lord who calls each of us by name, and why children love this image of Jesus →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWHAT MAKES HIM SPECIAL\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plush is hand-designed by Little Drops of Water and crafted in soft, cuddle-ready fabric.
