Daily devotion – Monday 30th August 2021
John 10:11 – “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.
Jesus states in John chapter 10 that He is the Good Shepherd. “The Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.” The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep…., “I know my sheep and my sheep know Me.”
There are four things of note here in this passage:
1. The Good Shepherd – He owns the sheep; they belong to Him.
2. The Good Shepherd – He guards the sheep; He never abandons them when danger approaches.
3. The Good Shepherd – He knows the sheep; He calls them by name and they follow Him.
4. Lastly, the Good Shepherd – He lays down His life for the sheep; their salvation is His primary concern.
The Bible says, “We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.” Psalm 100:3
Because you and I belong to Jesus Christ, we can this week be secure and at rest!
