A good shepherd will never leave his sheep behind and he will always protecting all his sheep from any danger, hunter, wolf or anything that can harm his sheep. A good shepherd will always count his sheep before he take them home because he is afraid if he leave one sheep behind. When he found out that he lost one of his sheep, he will walk and search for the sheep until he found it. This is because a good shepherd love his sheep.
"Lord is my shepherd".
When Father in heaven sent his only son to this world, he became a shepherd and his sheep is we all in this world. We are the sinful person. For those who believe in him will hear his voice, will see his light, will feel his love.
Jesus came down to this world not just to die on the cross, but he came to save us, to save all the lost sheep, to give love, to bring the light so we can walk in the right way, and he die for our sin because he want to give us an eternal life with his Father, our Father in heaven. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whoever believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life." ( John 3:6)
When Jesus says "my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me," mean we are his lost sheep. We cannot find our way home and we walk in the dark so that make us lost. We walk for a million miles away in the wrong direction and in the dark. We try to find our way, we search and we wait for someone to come and save us, but sometimes we fail. And that will make us lost and fall down.
But, God really loves us because no matter how far we walk and leave him far behind, he will still calling for us and he will always try to give his light so we can find our way home to be with him again.
God is so love, he sent his only son to bring us home.
Before this I never know that we are not searching for God but God search for us. When I become a christian, I believe that I found God because I search for him. Until one day, someone told me that it is not us who search for God but God search for us.This is because God really love his people. For those who believe in him will always feel his love and will feel that there is joy in their heart. Because God fill all the believers with his holy spirit and his greatest love.
God is just like the good shepherd because he never leave us alone, he never forget us, he never hate us, but he always love us, searching and calling for us. Knocking our heart because he want to get in and live in us.
When God found us and we follow him, we will see the very bright light and that light will always help us walk in the right direction.
When God has come to our life, we will never feel empty, thirsty and hungry anymore because God will gave us food. God will always give his love, will always hug us. There will be no more darkness and we will never walk alone again because God is there.
Give thanks to God for everything and Praise the lord for everything.
Amen.
