Jesus used this metaphor to communicate with his followers. The survival of sheep depends on the existence of a shepherd who cares.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock. The hired hand runs away because he’s working only for the money and doesn’t really care about the sheep.
“I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also. They will listen to my voice, and there will be one flock with one shepherd.”
John 10: 11-16 (NLT).
Greetings 👋
The entire Bible, Old and New Testament, is for our instruction, encouragement, and edification.
“But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead.
Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life.”
Isaiah 43: 1-4 (NIV).
Do you find comfort in these promises? I do! He gets into the fire 🔥 with us.
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have no business serving in Congress—and last night proved why once again.
During the #SOTU2026, they turned the address into their own spectacle: screaming “You have killed Americans!” and “Lies!” at the president, refusing to stand for ovations, and then storming out like spoiled brats.
That’s not legitimate protest; it’s disrespectful, un-American behavior with zero regard for the office of the presidency or the dignity of the country. People who show such contempt for America shouldn’t be representing us in Congress.
Why aren’t these interlopers ever held accountable for their repeated outbursts and disruptions?
