God Quote-Good Shepherd

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in John 10:14 and 15.

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep.”

By telling us who He is, Jesus was pointing out His tender love for His people. He laid down His life for us so that we could follow Him and enjoy a relationship with Him forever. That includes today.

Isaiah 40:11 tells us that “He tends his flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart.” As the Good Shepherd, Jesus is qualified to forgive our sins and to embrace us with His compassion.

John 10:14 and 15-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
