Grace For Today
The Good Shepherd
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all ; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one. John 10: 27-30 (NIV)
I once heard Michael Youssef tell the story of someone luring off a shepherd's sheep. He said as the shepherd looked upon the hill and saw his sheep being led astray, he called out to them and instantly the sheep turned and ran to their master. All we like sheep have gone astray, but once we turn to the Good Shepherd there is no one who can lead us astray. He know us and calls us by our name and we cannot resist His call. We serve a beautiful Savior who is full of mercy and grace. Stay in the race and stay committed to His word.
I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep and my own sheep know me. In the same way, the Father knows me and I know the Father. I put the sheep before myself, sacrificing myself if necessary.~Jesus Christ
