DAILY GUIDE 17TH FEBRUARY 2024 OUTLINE:
Jesus declares that He is the Good Shepherd. He compares Himself as a shepherd with a hired hand who would run away and leave the sheep to be destroyed if his life was threatened. He also looks at a thief who comes to steal and kill. Notice the main characteristic of the good shepherd in vs.11&14a.
The Good Shepherd knows His sheep by name and the sheep know Him. Can you be sure Jesus knows you by name or can you confidently say you know Him? Jesus loved us so much that He died for us so that we could have eternal life. He has the power to decide to die and get back His life again (v.18). Jesus does not keep only to current sheep alone. He loves even those outside, so He goes all out to win them to Him and brings them into the sheepfold (v.16).
That is why He sends His children into the world to bring those outside into the sheepfold (Matthew 28:19). Are you in the business of inviting non–believers into the Kingdom? Can you point to anyone who is in the church because of your witness?
PRACTICE/WORD APPLICATION
And so? For how Christian leaders, as shepherds, are to relate with the Lord’s flock under their care, see 1 Peter 5:1-4.
