I know my own and my own\n know me,\n 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father;\n and I lay down my life for the sheep. (ESV)\n\n Jesus told His followers:\n I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know\n me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father;\n and I lay down my life for the sheep.\n\n\n Jesus, the Good Shepherd, knows each of His sheep intimately\n and completely. This is not merely recognition, but true\n knowledge of our flaws, our strengths, and our needs. Indeed, He\n is more aware of our true selves than we possibly can know. Yet,\n in spite of our flaw, our weaknesses, our sins, He lays down His\n life for His sheep.\n\n Because Jesus knows us better than we know ourselves, we\n come to know Him as our Savior, our Redeemer from sin and death.\n In giving His life for us, He sacrifices Himself for our eternal\n blessing. Only through Him are we reconciled to the Father.\n Only through Him can we have the peace of knowing our sins are\n forgiven. Because He is both true God and true man, Jesus knows\n our needs, and daily provides for our hope and peace.\n\n The bond between Jesus Christ and His people is as strong as\n the bond between the Father and the Son. We know what the\n Shepherd has planned for us, life everlasting with Him. We know\n what it takes to receive His gift of salvation, nothing on our\n part, for our redemption from sin and death is a gift bestowed\n long before we knew Him.\n\n The Good Shepherd is pleased as we respond to His love, as\n we reflect His love to others. We love our neighbors because the\n Shepherd first loved us.\n\n May our Lord grant us His grace to know His love and mercy,\n which brings us the peace which the world cannot give. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 8, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3282"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3283,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3282\/revisions\/3283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
