Our King Of Love!
"I am the good shepherd.
The good shepherd gives
His life for the sheep."
John 10:11
Last year in India, a shepherd attempted to
lead a flock of sheep over railroad tracks. An
oncoming train, the Daulatpur Express, struck
sixty sheep, and the shepherd fled the scene.
Investigators also found another forty injured
sheep in another place. They
were abandoned
by the shepherd the night before.
Jesus spoke about shepherds like this, saying:
“But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one
who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf
coming and leaves the sheep and flees;
and
the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them."
"The hireling flees because he's a hireling and
does not care about the sheep. I am the good
shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am
known by My own” (John
10:12-14).
Jesus called Himself the Good Shepherd, and we
are His sheep. He loves His sheep, and He knows
every one of them. He won't abandon us or harm
us. When we don’t know what to do or where to
go, we must remember to keep our eyes on
Him.
"The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness faileth never. I
nothing lack if I am his, and he
is mine forever."
