In this passage, we see that the greatest act of love this world has ever seen is the gift of Jesus Christ - our Saviour, our Shepherd, our King.
On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we see that Jesus Christ is our Shepherd-King who came to bring us peace with God and with each other. We have the promise of better days that Jesus Christ, our Prince of Peace, is coming again soon to bring full and final peace to the earth.
