About the Fourth Sunday of Easter: The fourth Sunday of Easter is often called "Good Shepherd Sunday" because the readings traditionally center around the image of Jesus as a shepherd. Even in the book of Revelation, Jesus is pictured as a shepherd - here a sort of ironic shepherd, a Lamb who is a shepherd. The least of the flock, the young lamb, is pictured here as leading a great multitude of all of God's people in the last days. The realities of living in a sinful world are pictured all around those who are the flock of the Lamb, but the message of hope is clear - the realities of a sinful world will end, but the reign of the Lamb-Shepherd will not.
