Highlights**** We have seen the amazing attributes of our
Savior Jesus – He is Holy, He is Powerful, He is our Provider, He is our
Teacher, He is our Healer, AND He is also our Shepherd. The Bible tells us that we are alike sheep
who have gone astray and Luke Chapter 15 tells us that Jesus, our Good Shepherd
cares enough for each and every one us that He will come to find His sheep that
have gone astray – one of the many.
What a comforting thought that Jesus cares for each of us to consider us
that much loved that He would come to find one of the many! Psalm 23 tells us, too, that the Lord is our
Shepherd and we shall not be in want as He supplies our very most needs – even
before we know it. If you know anything
about sheep, it is that they are helpless animals that need to be led to food
and shelter and need to be protected from other animals that hunt them. So just like sheep, we need a leader for our
lives and a protector from the evil one Satan – who the Bible says hunts for
whomever he can devour. Jesus is that
leader for our lives, but in order for Him to lead, we have to surrender our
wills to His – and we know so far we can trust Him as Savior because He is
holy, powerful, a provider, a great teacher, a healer, and as a preview to next
week’s lesson – the very Son of God as God proclaimed Him as such as the Way,
the Truth and the Life. And not only is
He the Shepherd, but He is also proclaimed to be the spotless Lamb of God as He
was the sacrificial lamb for our sins.
