The Good Shepherd

Good morning Brothers, Happy Friday! God loves you. I love you. Thank God for waking you up this morning and bringing you to the end of another week. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Tomorrow is not promised, so take some time right now to praise him. As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah, he said.(‭‭Acts‬ ‭17‬:‭2‬-‭3‬). Let’s sing, I come with joy to meet my Lord, Forgiven, loved and free, In awe and wonder to recall His life laid down for me, His life laid down for me. I come with Christians far and near To find, as all are fed, Our true community of love In Christ's communion bread, In Christ's communion bread. Today’s verse is from John 10:11. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Have you ever considered Jesus as the shepherd of your own soul? Jesus desires to walk alongside you in life, caring for your needs and taking care of your heart. He desires to love you and guide you into what is good for you. Like Jesus, we can choose to put others ahead of ourselves. We can sacrifice our personal comfort for the sake of someone else. Jesus is not a leader that wants to make your life burdensome or difficult. Instead, He wants you to live in freedom and grace. Take a moment to consider Jesus as your shepherd, and thank Him for His love and grace. How can you serve like Jesus today? God loves you. Have a blessed day.
