The Good Shepherd

Jn. 10: 11

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

Blessing of being His sheep:

• Jesus is my Door.
• I have salvation by entering through the Door.
• I have pasture through the Door.
• The Shepherd gives me life abundantly.
• The Good Shepherd laid down His life for me.
• He knows me because I am His.
• I know Him because I am His.
• He brings the sheep of all the folds so there is one flock and one shepherd.
• He laid down His life willingly and can take it up again.

What a blessing to belong to the Good Shepherd's fold! After Jesus told this story, there was a division among those who listened. Some claiming He had a demon or was insane, but others who knew Him knew His saving power. I know His saving power! He is my Savior who cares for me just like a shepherd cares for his sheep. Because I am His, I can rest in Him because I know His voice. I will never be trick by someone untrue or false, and I will never be taken out of His hand. 

Father,

Thank You for letting me be one of Your sheep. Keep feeding me from Your words.

In Jesus name,

Amen
