The good Shepherd 

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:11

 

One thing about a Shepherd is that He leads His sheep rightly and He watches over them, but He can’t sacrifice His life for His sheep when  He sees a beast coming to attack the sheep. Jesus is uniquely different and that is the reason why He is the good shepherd. He is one that sacrificed His life for the world just to be saved.

Christians are akin to a sheep that is guided by a good shepherd, Jesus. One thing a sheep will do is to listen and follow His Shepherd always to avert danger. Jesus said in John 10:9 that He is the door and that whosoever enters in will be saved. In other words, whosoever listens to His instructions and follows Him will be saved and will not be trapped as a prey.

Dear reader, I believe you have been blessed this morning. Are you a follower of Christ? If yes, are you following His words, and do you hear from Him? Hearing from Him and following His words is the only way you can be saved from evil and be at peace with Him.

 

Prayer: Father I thank you for your word today. Holy Spirit speak to me continually, guide, and be my Shepherd in all journeys of my life.
