Share The Scripture: "HE shall feed His flock like a shepherd : He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom. Isaiah 40:11."
"There is but one, who gave up His life so that we would have a door to eternal life - if we chose to enter. Gentle, reflective. A beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics. JESUS is The Good Shepherd, He knows His sheep, and His sheep know Him. "The Good Shepherd" by Fernando Ortega"
Teach The Lesson: In olden times, the shepherds were very different from the men whom you often see now, driving the poor sheep so cruelly, for they were never intrusted with the care of the flocks, unless they had been proved to be faithful, kind men, who spent their whole time and strength in tenderly watching the sheep, guarding them from wolves, leading them to green pastures, and even carrying any poor weak little lamb, who was unable to walk. And this, dear little ones, is a beautiful picture of our Savior, for He is a most tender Shepherd, always gently leading (not driving) His flock by the best way, ready to keep them from all danger, and even carrying the little lambs in His loving arms ; where He will keep them safely, if they will only trust Him, until He leads them to that beautiful Garden which His Father is preparing for them. If you have never before given yourself to Jesus, go to Him to-day, and ask to be made one of His little lambs ; then no matter how rough the path through this world, your Shepherd will always go before, gently leading and helping you in all trials and sorrows.
Close With a Prayer: O Lord God, my heavenly Father, I thank you for the precious promise you have sent me through your scriptures and for all the forgiveness you have given me. Increase my love for yourself, and grant that I may always stay close to you. For Jesus' sake. Amen.
