How does Jesus being the Good Shepherd affect our lives as His followers?
-
We know that our needs are met and we can trust Him to take care of us.
-
If we understand the role of a shepherd, that is the protection, care and leadership that he brings, then we can see that Jesus, as the good Shepherd, does the same for us.
-
Jesus being our good shepherd,helps us to understand to keep our eyes on him always.
-
With Jesus as My Shepherd, I feel safe and secure and know my needs will be met.
-
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, is Lord. And the Lord is MY shepherd. I shall not want.
I think of my comfortable home with running water and sanitation, mode of transportation, roads, etc. and it makes me appreciate even more when I read Psalm 23 that the good shepherd wrote it in conditions far more harsh than what I experience. Yet, He still promises to supply our needs as we trust in, and rely upon, Him. This lesson was helpful for me to understand the Psalm 23 context so much better.
