“11- I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 14- I am the good
shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” (John 10:11- 14 KJV)
The Lord’s life was pictured
on David’s life. David was a shepherd, but he called the Lord his “Good
Shepherd…” We have the Shepherd walking and leading us to His way, His will,
His work, and His word. Jesus is the good Shepherd who will walk with us as we
walk in the valley of the shadow of death, and even in death itself. When David
confronted Goliath; he knew he has the guidance of the Shepherd. It was the
same experienced for Joseph who was helped by God from pit to become the Prime
Minister of Egypt. Jesus is the good Shepherd of the New Testament. The decision
of Joseph when he followed the Lord’s Word by being with Mary the mother of
Jesus in the flesh means a trust in the good Shepherd.
Jesus is your good
Shepherd when you were in your deepest moment, and when you were in need of
wisdom and guidance. Will you trust the Shepherd of your soul? King David as
the powerful individual during his times recognized the Lord as His good
Shepherd. He said; “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. 2- He maketh me
to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” (Psalm
23:1- 2 KJV)
