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).
Happy Palm Sunday!
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Luke 19:38 (NIV). #HolyWeek
Are you wondering about who controls world leaders and events impacting every nation? The Bible helps us prepare for whatever is coming down the pike.
“Daniel answered and said:
“Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.
And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
And knowledge to those who have understanding.
He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him.”
Daniel 2: 20-24 (NIV).
We should always pray for God’s will to be done and His kingdom to come.
What say you? #Israel #IranWar #prayer
Here’s what the Lord gave me tonight.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.”
Psalm 122: 6-9 (NKJV).
These verses seem
pretty straightforward to me. I say, yes and amen 🙏
