Being a Sheep Can Be Great

Being a Sheep Can Be Great!


The 23rd Psalm may be the most popular chapter in the Old Testament. It is a song of comfort and assurance based on the competence, compassion and guidance of the Lord - the ultimate "Shepherd.”


During His ministry, Jesus frequently employed the imagery of a shepherd and his sheep in connection with His loyal followers and Himself. In doing so, He provided His followers with many wonderful assurances. Several examples are below:

 Jesus is deeply concerned for those without a shepherd (Matt. 9:36).
 Even ONE sheep is worth saving (Luke 15:1-7).

 Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd of the sheep (Heb. 13:20).

 Jesus is the Good Shepherd for sheep from all nations (John 10:16).

 The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep (John 10:11).

 The Good Shepherd knows His sheep by name (John 10:3).
 The Good Shepherd watches over His sheep (1 Pet. 2:25).
 The Good Shepherd will never abandon His sheep (Heb. 13:5).
 The Good Shepherd gives His sheep abundant life (John 10:10).
 The Good Shepherd will separate His sheep from the goats at the judgement

(Matt. 25:32-34).

We are exceedingly blessed to be sheep of the Good Shepherd. Praise God and Jesus Christ forever!

Jesus FIRST!
