The Good Shepherd

Israel needed a shepherd. They couldn’t stay in the pasture God gave them and as a result, they got into all kinds of sin and trouble. But, we too, yes, even Christians, must guard against straying off the path and getting tangled up in things that are harmful to us.

But, thank God that He provided a Shepherd for us, too, and He loves us so. Jesus said in John 10 that fake shepherds are only interested in the money, and they don’t love the sheep. But our Good Shepherd loves knows and cares for the sheep of His pasture.
