He knows the whole flock, even the small lambs, and has special care for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">The children in the animated film see a shepherd looking after his flock. A little lamb has fallen over the edge of a cliff and can\u2019t come up again. The shepherd hurries over, and using his shepherd\u2019s staff, or crook, he brings the lamb up safety. It is such a relief when the lamb is safe in the shepherd\u2019s arms and is comforted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52532 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/biblekids.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/KIJU_S02_E04_the-good-shepherd-2.png\" alt=\"Jesus, the Good Shepherd \u2013 Bible story for the little ones-2\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"\/>The children move on and see a crowd listening to Jesus. When Jesus sees them, He makes sure that they and the other children come right to the front and get to sit next to Him. Jesus is just like the shepherd: He cares for everybody, and especially for the children. That is why He is called the Good Shepherd, and we can always count on Him to look after us and help us when we need it. He cares for us in every way, and most of all that His word can help us and make us happy.<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1891015601\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1948848231\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n<h4 class=\"lead\">Questions for discussion<\/h4>\n<p class=\"lead\">Do you think the shepherd was happy when he saved the lamb?<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">What does it mean to care for somebody?<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">How is Jesus a Good Shepherd for us?<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-407019518\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n<h4>Songs that go with the theme<\/h4>\n<p class=\"lead\">AB 212: Joy, joy, my heart is full of joy!<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">AB 221: I am Jesus\u2019 little lamb<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">AB 275: I&#8217;ve got a Savior who always is near<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead\">AB 228: When it&#8217;s stormy<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1914553185\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1238962207\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n<h3>Bible verses fitting the topic<\/h3>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-992833092\">\r\n\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1875531234\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n<blockquote>I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. \n\nJohn 10: 14<\/blockquote>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2093961570\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n<blockquote>I am the good shepherd; The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.\n\nJohn 10:11<\/blockquote>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\r\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1869222130\" class=\"col medium-4 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\r\n<blockquote>The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
