Christ indescribable care for His sheep.

John  10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.  10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.  10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Our Master and Lord Jesus Christ is the Shepherd for His sheep of all ages.

The sheep hear His voice and follow Him alone

They will run away from hirelings or false teachers and prophets.

John  10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.  10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Christ ensures His sheep will be totally cared for on this side of heaven and the next to come.

Psalms  23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.  23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Christ in deed is the Shepherd.  He is : 

The Good Shepherd.

John  10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.  10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

The Great shepherd 

Hebrews  13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,  13:21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

The Shepherd and Bishop of your soul.

1 Peter  2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

His faithful obedient sheep..

John  10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:  10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

They hear His voice.  They heed His sayings and are wise.

Matthew  7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

They are obedient to Him.
