ETERNITY

The Good Shepherd



“I am the good shepherd. I know My own sheep, and they know Me, as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. I lay down My life for the sheep.” ~ John 10:14-15

Jesus Stands in the same relationship to His people as a shepherd does to his flock. He owns His people, and every one of them belong to Him. He prizes them because they are His – sets a value on each of them. He takes care of them – remembering them both night and day. His heart is never off them – and because of His inward love, there is an outward goodness that He constantly extends to them. He protects them from the wolf. He guards them from a thousand dangers. He supplies all their needs. He guides them in the right way. He brings them back when they wander. He strengthens them when they are weak. He carries them when they are too feeble to go on. He sees that they are a weak flock, a silly flock, and a wandering flock; therefore, He is their strength, their wisdom, their righteousness, and their all.
