Jesus, the Good Shepherd: Caring for His Sheep
Manage episode 445405227 series 3596768
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. (Psalm 23:1-4)
This psalm reminds us that God leads, nourishes, and protects us, no matter what valleys we face.
Puritan pastor Thomas Watson once said, “As a shepherd leads his flock into rich pastures, so Christ leads His sheep into the blessed pastures of His grace.” Thomas Watson, “The Godly Man’s Picture” (1666).
