Good Shepherd:

The Good Shepherd is a metaphorical title describing Jesus.  Just as a good shepherd watches over and cares for his flock of sheep, Jesus, our Good Shepherd watches over and cares for his sheep -- those who follow him.  See John 10:1-16; also Ezekiel 34:11,1 Peter 2:25, Psalm 119:176, Isaiah 53:6, Ezekiel 34:11, and Matthew 9:36.

This concept is greatly expanded and insightfully explained in the book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by Phillip Keller.
