THE GOOD SHEPHERD

DAILY GRACE MON. 13TH FEB, 2017 THE GOOD SHEPHERD JOHN 10: 11 Welcome to a fresh week of a high expectation and your expectation shall not be cut off in Jesus' name. "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." Christ Jesus calls Himself the good shepherd- that good Shepherd, whom God had promised. Jesus Christ is the best of shepherds l have seen on earth, the best in the world to take the over-sight of souls, none so skilful, so faithful, so tender, as He, no such feeder and leader, no such protector and healer of souls as He. To give His life for the sheep, of which you and l belonged. The good shepherd gave His life without any reservation. Often observed it is the duty of every good shepherd to face hazard and also expose His life for the sake of the sheep. Jacob did so, when he would go through such a fatigue to attend to them (Gen. 31:40). So did David, when he slew the lion and the bear. Such a shepherd of souls was Apostle Paul, who would gladly spend, and be spent, for their service, and counted not his life dear to him, in comparison with their salvation. Oh what a shepherd indeed! Friend, it is the prerogative of the good and great Shepherd to give his life to purchase his flock (Acts 20:28), to sanctify for their trespasses, and to shed his blood to wash and cleanse them. Christ is a good shepherd, and not as a hireling. There were many that were not thieves, aiming to kill and destroy the sheep, but passed for shepherds, yet were very careless in the discharge of their duty, and through their neglect the flock was greatly damaged; foolish shepherds, idle shepherds (Zech. 11:15, 17). Appreciate the Lord Jesus for being a good shepherd. For He keeps you day and night from all evils, orders your step, keep you from the evil one, direct your path into righteousness, protects you from all attacks and dangers of life. What a great and good Shepherd He is. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Lord Jesus, thank you for keeping and watching over me as my faithful Shepherd. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return. Enquiries@PGM lnt'l richgracemission@gmail.com www.pentecostalgrace.blogspot.com.ng +2348058561464 +2347083069998
