Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Good Shepherd - Part 1\n John 10:11\n 05\/05\/2025\n\n\n 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays\n down his life for the sheep. (ESV)\n\n There are two Bible passages with which most people are\n familiar. The first is John 3:16, ``For God so loved the world,\n that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in\n him should not perish, but have everlasting life.''[1] The other\n is the Twenty-Third Psalm, ``The LORD is my shepherd I shall not\n want.''\n\n In this week's Gospel reading, Jesus ties the two passages\n together in order to bring comfort and hope to all people. Jesus\n said, ``I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his\n life for the sheep.''\n\n When we look at the Twenty-Third Psalm, we realize that we,\n the sheep of God's pasture, are very dependent of the Shepherd.\n He feeds us, He gives us water, He comforts us when we are\n afraid, He binds our wounds when we are injured, He gives us a\n safe and secure home with protection from those things which\n would hurt us.\n\n God's sheep are far from show quality, far from being\n perfect examples of the flock. They are weak, sick, injured, and\n helpless. They like to stray away, they like to leave the\n Shepherd to seek new adventures. Yet the Shepherd loves them\n enough to die for them, to take upon Himself their guilt, the\n stain of their sheepish ways.\n\n May our Lord grant that we see the Good Shepherd as our\n Savior from sin and death, and in Him dwell securely. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
