S  John10:4

 

When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

How does Jesus tend to his sheep?  He leads them to beautiful green pastures that have everything his sheep need.  He keeps them all grouped together so none with stray.  He keeps them on the path that leads to safe havens.  He watches over them day and night making sure they are safe from any danger that may linger in the darkness.  If any of His sheep to not listen to his voice and stray, they need call out to Him and the great shepherd will come to their rescue.

Our Pastors are called to watch over us like Jesus watches over His sheep.  We are called to bring lost sheep into the flock of Christianity, to lead the lost strays to know the truth of the Shepherd Jesus.  Jesus has called us to do his work here on earth, therefore we are to be Jesus to every person we come into contact with.  We are to love everyone, we are to be kind and considerate to everyone no matter how hard it may be.  We are called to lead His lost sheep to greener pastures so they to may eat the lush green grass and drink from the water of life.

Father God.  You Lord our the Head Shepherd and we are your sheep, I pray Lord that when you call I listen, that I may know your voice like sheep know the voice of a shepherd.  I ask Lord that I stay with the flock, that I never stray.  Teach me Lord to obey your word, the word of truth.  Thank you Father are leading me to everything that is good, I pray that my trust and wisdom grow so that I may know how to be the shepherd you are calling me to be.  I love you Jesus. 

 

Amen.
