“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. John 10:11(NKJV)
A shepherd watches over, guides, and feeds the sheep.There are shepherds who are only hired; these care more for their life and safety than for the sheep. John 10:12-13.
But Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down His Life for us.The greatest love is to lay down one’s life for his friends. Only Jesus did that for all of us. He did it for us while we were still his enemies in our thinking and actions. Romans 5:8.This is an invitation to you – to know Jesus as the Good Shepherd so you may live and walk under His protection, guidance, and care.
