Hey
You are your parent's son / daughter: right?
If you have a son, are you a parent or a son / daughter?
You are your parent's son / daughter and your son's parent.
Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God which bears the sins of the world. Jesus Christ is the Shepherd of those who follow Him.

previous to the existence of Jesus, Jews have been to sacrifice a appropriate male lamb each and every 365 days to catch up on his or her sins. Jesus replaced right into a the suited sacrificial lamb that replaced into to catch up on mankind's sin as quickly as and for all. Following his death there want no longer be to any extent further each and every year sacrifice of a lamb. The function of Jesus as shepherd is a metaphor to assist us understand one measurement of the character of his courting to us. those are 2 separate illustrations to assist us understand what and who he's. it quite is comparable to asserting that i'm mom and daughter on an analogous time. in case you basically take those 2 words, mom and daughter, it may look a contradiction to be the two on an analogous time and yet i'm without you being in any respect at a loss for words approximately it. It does not certainly require a severe IQ to appreciate.

Both.
Jesus is the flawless sacrificial lamb that God sacrificed for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus is the Good shepherd leading His flock down the path of righteousness.
They mean two different things, but they both are metaphors describing Jesus.

either, depending on what he's talking about.
The shepherd is a metaphor for a leader, I guess. Pastors are referred to this way as well, not as THE Shepherd, but a shepherd. Jesus being the lamb is a metaphor about Jesus sacrificing Himself for the sins of the world.

Both. He is our shepherd because He leads us back to the Father, He knows the way.
He is the lamb because He did what needed to be done so He could be the Shepherd.

John 1:29, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"
John 10:11, "I am the good shepherd..."
These are simply descriptions and Jesus fits them both.

Jesus is the Lamb that was slain for our sins. He is also the GOoD shepherd who guides His flock. so I guess both would be in order here.

He was the sacrificial lamb once and for all, to atone for the sins of the people. When He conquered death, He became the good shepherd that all who believe on Him He will lead through the valley of death. Death has no more dominion on them that believe.

Both. He is the lamb (corresponding anaology is the sacrificial lamb of the Old Testament) and the shepard (in the sense that he leads his Sheep).
