Jesus stands among His sheep, staff in hand and crowned with thorns, a powerful blend of kingly mercy and sacrificial love. His gaze rests tenderly on the lamb cradled against His chest, a symbol of the lost brought home and held fast in grace. Surrounding Him, the flock looks on in trust, drawn by the quiet strength of their shepherd’s presence. The crown of thorns reminds us that love reigns not through power but through suffering freely embraced. This sacred image invites all who wander to return to the Shepherd who knows each by name and leads with compassion.
