The Shepherd and His Enemies

Jesus' ministry was often misunderstood—not only by His followers and opponents, but also by His own disciples. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey highlights key moments, including the feeding of the five thousand and Jesus' walking on water, when we see clearly that Jesus is the compassionate Shepherd, the divine "I am;' and the Teacher who confronts hollow traditions with the truth of God's Word.
