Secure ...

John 10:12-15

12 The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep,

sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away.

So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them. 13 Because he is a hired hand

and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away. 14 “I am the good shepherd

I know my own and my own know me— 15 just as the Father knows me

and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.

 

Shepherd

 

The Shepherd’s watchful eye ... gazing over the flock

Protection guaranteed ... when close to the Leader

To be completely free ... to dwell in His Presence

Provided and secured ... not much more now needed

 

Look at the lambs in the flock ... who raises them today?

Who is responsible ... to lead and protect?

Is it not the “mom” ... who makes all decisions?

Doesn’t the lamb depend on natural grace in fact?

 

Raise the kids in church ... is a good priority

Staying close to the Shepherd ... needs to be number one

Provide for them a home ... the basis for the neat living

Remember all good things come from God before the day is done
