 Where there only seems to be valleys of dark shadows, troubles, hopelessness, and death, there's the new exodus to God's eternal promised land with Jesus the Good Shepherd leading the way. At the end of the day, when things seem dark and lonely, we are brought to the new day, the new beginning that's found only in Jesus because he is God in the flesh. He's not only the Good Shepherd, but Jesus also came to live among his sheep.
