Jesus is not a hired shepherd because, when he sees a wolf coming, he does not abandon the sheep. In fact, he lays down his life for the sheep by allowing the wolf (sin and Satan) to kill him rather than the sheep. And he allows the wolf to kill him, so he might defeat the wolf in the resurrection.
Our Savior loves us, his sheep, more than we will ever know. Let us follow him unreservedly by listening to his voice through the Church, the Scriptures, the witness and advice of godly people, and the still, small voice within the depths of our hearts.
