Jesus says: I am the good shepherd ...and I lay down my life for the sheep.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
John 10:11, 27, 28
Jesus Christ is the good shepherd who has a deep concern for his flock. Opposite him are, on the one hand, “thieves” who ruthlessly pursue their own interests and, on the other hand, hired hands who quickly abandon the sheep when danger threatens. Jesus, on the other hand, laid down his life for his sheep in order to give them “life in abundance” (v. 1.
Jesus Christ, the good shepherd, knows exactly who belongs to him; he “knows his sheep.” And he names the characteristics by which Christians can be recognized: they “hear his voice” and “follow him.”
The good shepherd knows his sheep; this also means that Jesus Christ knows his followers with all their needs and cares for them himself. With him, man's deep longing for security finds its fulfillment.
Christ gives believers eternal life. And although they are weak in themselves, they need not fear that they might one day be lost, for He promises them that nothing and no one can snatch them out of His hand.
Because the Good Shepherd cares for His own in His love, Christians can look to the future with confidence and say:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

Excerpt from the chapter: Why Trump´s right earlobe? of the book: Q – God Wins. (Available on Amazon)
Why Trump's right earlobe?
July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on Trump
In the Bible, the term blood on the right ear (Leviticus 8:22-24 and 14:28) serves as a visible sign of consecration, meaning that the person is dedicated to God's service and set apart for a specific purpose. This act represents a physical and spiritual transformation that prepares the individual for his sacred role. Here is a breakdown of the meaning:
Right ear: The right ear represents obedience. In ancient times, the right ear was considered the most important ear because it was the ear that heard the words of God.
Blood: Blood represents life, sacrifice, and atonement. In this context, blood is a symbol of purification and consecration.
Consecration: Consecration means to set apart something or someone for a specific purpose, to make it sacred and dedicated to God. In this case, the blood on the right ear signifies that the person is set apart for a sacred task or role.
Priestly Consecration: In Leviticus 8, the blood is applied to the right ear of Aaron and his sons, consecrating them as priests. This act sets them apart as intermediaries between God and humans.
Cleansing: In Leviticus 14, the blood is applied to the right ear of the person being cleansed, symbolizing their cleansing and restoration to community.
Trump's blood ritual in Butler
In the third book of Moses, chapter 14: 13,14, it says: "Then he shall slaughter the young ram in a holy place, where the sin offering and the burnt offering are usually slaughtered, because the guilt offering, like the sin offering, belongs to the priest. It is most holy. 14 The priest shall take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the right ear lobe of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
So there is a certain symbolism behind the priest's initiation, because it is said that the ears, thumbs and toes had to come into contact with the blood, as it is important to consecrate the whole body. The right ear represents hearing the word of God. The right thumb represents the deeds and the following of the commandments of God and the right foot represents that one must walk in the commandments of God and live according to the commandments of God.
But what do the right ear, the right thumb and the right foot have to do with Donald Trump?
In the attempted assassination of Trump, only his right ear was hit, whereupon Donald Trump touched his bleeding ear with his right hand, while he was suddenly standing on the stage without shoes, so barefoot or only with socks, which is why the blood from his right ear could also touch his feet. Shortly after the assassination attempt, Trump said: “Let me get my shoes.” Agents had taken his shoes off after he was shot in the right ear.
