The Good Shepherd



 Psa 23:2  He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 

Psa 23:3  He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 


Jesus is our Good Shepherd. Jesus gives us rest and water for our thirst.  He leads us in paths of righteousness. He will never cause us to sin or to be overcome by the enemy.


Mat 11:28  Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

Mat 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

Mat 11:30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” 


A good shepherd is known  by his sheep.


John 10:10  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 

John 10:11  I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 

John 10:12  He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 

John 10:13  He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 

John10:14  I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, 

John 10:15  just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 


The Good Shepherd laid down his life for his sheep and has taken it up again. That is God's  power and protection. Fear not , but trust in the Good Shepherd, trust in Jesus who has overcome the world. The world has become crazy, He is the way, the truth and the life...John 14:6,  


He Leadeth Me.
