Much could be said about the "Good Shepherd." However, the thought that strikes this blogger today is the second verse in John 10; "But He that entereth in by the door IS the Shepherd of the sheep." Only the true Shepherd comes by "the door." Because He IS the door. (v9) "I Am the door:.." The false shepherd/prophet acts as "thief and robber." If the door is closed, he finds another way. Because he has no regard for the sheep, he finds a false way.
The Psalmist pointed out, "The Lord IS my Shepherd..." (Ps 23.1) How is it the sheep go their way without fear? Because "...Thou art with me." (Ps 23.4) Even in correction via the "rod and staff" there is comfort in knowing He knows the best way.
So many verses could be expounded on when thinking about "The Good Shepherd." But today this blogger simply wants to meditate on the truth that HE IS Good and wants the best for His sheep. Praise God, I am one of them!
Rejoice, rejoice. Praise Him, Praise Him tell of His excellent greatness. What a friend we have in Jesus. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
