Day Nine: The Good Shepherd
December 22nd, 2005
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” — John 10:11
Jesus told His followers a story about a shepherd with 100 sheep. One of them wandered away and was lost. The good shepherd left all the others to find the lost one, because he cared about all of his sheep. The Bible calls Jesus the Good Shepherd, and we are His sheep if we follow Him (Psalm 95:7). He takes care of all our needs. He gives us rest when we’re weary, comfort when we’re scared, and protection. He even gave His life to save us. What a wonderful shepherd!
