Fourth Sunday of Easter, Cycle B

Sunday, April 21, 2024

John 10:11-18
Jesus says that he is the good shepherd who knows his sheep.

The fourth Sunday of Easter is also called Good Shepherd Sunday. In each of the three lectionary cycles, our Gospel is taken from the 10th chapter of the Gospel of John. In next Sunday’s Gospel, we hear about Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and how he cares for his followers. A good shepherd knows and cares for his sheep, not because he has to but because he knows and loves them. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He knows us and loves us. He chose to sacrifice his life to save us from sin.

Jesus calls us to choose to help and care for others out of love. During the days leading to the Sunday Eucharist think of some ways that you can show others you want to care and help your family and friends because you love them, not because we have to.
