  • He is the Shepherd, we are the sheep. (Ezek. 34:12; Heb. 13:20-21)
  • He is my Master, I am his servant. (Ps. 123:2; John 13:16)
  • He is my Friend, and Brother. I am his brother, or sister, or mother. (John 15:15; cf. Jer. 3:4; Matt. 12:50; 25:40)
  • He is the Bridegroom, we are the bride. (Isa. 54:5-6; Rev. 19:6-8)
