TOPIC: The King of Love
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
John 10:11
Recommended Reading: John 10:11-17
Last August 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 had been 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 is 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 will not abandon us or harm us. When we don’t know what to do or where to go, we need to 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.
