Topic: JEHOVAH ROHI – The LORD Our SHEPHERD – Part 2
MEMORIZE: “I am the good Shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11.
SCRIPTURES READING: John 10:1-10
EXPOSITION:
One of the titles of Jesus Christ is good shepherd. He said, he laid down his life as a good shepherd for the salvation and eternal safety of his sheep - “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11. David in his experience as a shepherd said, “Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear:” 1 Samuel 17:34-36. Why did he endanger his life like that? It was because he is their shepherd. He knows that sheep are helpless to fight against the ravenous animals by their strength. This made him to see and value God as his Shepherd. Jesus Christ said, “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” John 10:14. God is our Shepherd and we are his sheep. It is written in Psalm 100:3 that, “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture”. He watches over us – “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.” – Psalm 121:4,5. He cares for us – “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7. He provides for all need – “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1. He helps us – “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'” Isaiah 41:10. He goes before you to fight for you – “For the LORD your God is he that goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” Deuteronomy 20:4. Therefore, you must trust Him with your whole heart and commit yourself unto His hand, and He will direct your path unto good success. Those who see Him as their Shepherd have nothing good to lack because He is the owner of the universe and all riches and glory in it.
PRAYER POINT:
Lord, I appreciate the price you paid for my redemption as my Shepherd, help me to remain under your guidance and care all through my life in Jesus name.
