The Good Shepherd (March 16, 2020)
Updated: Mar 18, 2020
Jesus said, " I am the good shepherd; and I know my sheep and my sheep know me" (John 10:14)
King David said in Psalm 23 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
Even before Jesus came to earth, King David who was ahead of his time, saw the Lord as his Shepherd. He shared with us the many reasons why he saw the Lord as His Shepherd and the reasons we should see Him as our Good Shepherd as well.
We find in Psalm 23 what the Good Shepherd provides for us, His sheep. He supplies our needs, gives us rest, restores us, leads us, protects us, gives us peace, walks with us, comforts us, even in difficult and dangerous situations and times. Even during uncertain times as we are experiencing now, He can cause us to overflow with His love, joy, peace, strength, and comfort to the point where our trust and faith in God will encourage others. All this comes by virtue of the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Goodness and mercy are constantly following us and will for the rest of our days. Because of God's faithfulness towards us, it should always draw us back to His house, the place where His glory dwells, to give Him glory and praise forever.
