April 24, 2023 ~ LKMilam April Devotions: "The Good Shepherd"

And so, I continue. . . That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving and tell of all thy wondrous works. Psalms 26:7

John 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. KJV 

Jesus said it so that there could be no mistake what He meant. He is the ideal of shepherd-like care for the people of God as illustrated in the Old Testament and in that culture. What Jesus described as a good shepherd is actually a Holy Sacrificial Shepherd. Shepherds may take risks for the safety of the sheep, but it is probably rare to find one who would willingly die for their sheep.  Jesus gave His life up for the sheep/the people He loved so much so that we could have life everlasting! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

“He is giving his life still. The life that is in the man Christ Jesus He is always giving for us. It is for us He lives, and because He lives, we live also. He lives to plead for us. He lives to represent us in heaven. He lives to rule providence for us.” (Spurgeon)

Do you know Him Lost person? Do you know that the Great Shepherd is also our Amazing Saviour of the world? That means that every living soul can be saved! If you are alive today, you still have an opportunity to be saved and secure your eternal resting place in heaven! O that you would heed the call. If you are reading this, it is not by accident! It is God planned! The Bible tells us clearly what we must do to be saved! 

Come to him in repentance of your sin, in belief take Him as your personal Saviour, ask Him to forgive your sin and come into your heart and save you . . . you will never be the same again! To God be the glory!

HE CARES! Lost person, Do You Want to Know HIM?  Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.  With love and prayers, may we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?

Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
