About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WHAT IS A SHEPHERD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU WHAT MY DICTIONARY SAYS ABOUT A SHEPHERD AND I LOVE THIS DICTIONARY BECAUSE IT USUALLY TIES THE DEFINITION IN WITH THE BIBLE.
SHEPHERD
1. A man employed in tending, feeding and gaurding sheep in the pasture.
2. The pastor of a parish, church or congregation; a minister of the gospel who superintends a church or parish, and gives instruction in spiritual things. God and Christ are in Scripture dinominated Shepherds, as they lead, protect and govern their people, and provide for their wilfare.
NOW LET'S LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT A SHEPHERD. JESUS SAYS THAT HE IS A SHEPHERD, BUT NOT JUST ANY SHEPHERD, HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD. JOHN 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. JOHN 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. DAVID HAD THE RIGHT IDEA WHEN HE WROTE PSALM 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. HOWEVER, HE PROBABLY WAS TALKING ABOUT "LORD GOD" AND NOT "LORD JESUS" WHO IS ALSO "LORD GOD" BUT HAD NOT YET BEEN BORN. I DON'T KNOW THIS FOR SURE BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH GOD LOVED DAVID. HE SAID DAVID WAS A MAN AFTER HIS OWN HEART. (1 SAMUEL 13:14) GOD COULD HAVE TOLD DAVID ABOUT JESUS OR JESUS COULD HAVE EVEN APPEARED TO HIM.
ARE YOU ONE OF JESUS' SHEEP? IF YOU ARE REALLY BORN AGAIN YOU ARE. DO YOU HEAR HIS VOICE AND ARE YOU FOLLOWING HIM? YOU SHOULD BE DOING BOTH. HE SPEAKS TO US THROUGH HIS WORD AND IF YOU ARE NOT READING HIS WORD, HOW WILL YOU KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW HIM. HE SAYS IN JOHN 27 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" THIS SHOULD SHED A GREATER LIGHT ON READING AND STUDYING THE BIBLE. AS ALWAYS, IT IS UP TO YOU AND ME.. HE HAS DONE IT ALL FOR US. WE JUST NEED TO PRAISE AND THANK HIM FOR IT. ARE YOU?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
