The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
I am the good Shepherd. - John 10:11
Beloved, are you in the fold of Jesus? Are you numbered with His sheep? Are you feeding and resting among them? Jesus presents Himself to us this morning, in a very lovely character; He says, "I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD."
There is no other shepherd so good or so great as He. He has the tenderest affection for His flock. He affords them His powerful protection. He finds them plenty and suitable provision. He gave His life to redeem them. He sends his spirit to sanctify them. He is preparing a place in heaven to receive them. He will eternally dwell among them and bless them.
Oh, how great is His goodness! He is indeed abundant in goodness and truth. He says, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one." What glorious security! What honour is conferred on the flock of Jesus! GOOD SHEPHERD, keep us near Thyself.
Never let us wander, no, not for a moment; but may we be always delighted with Thy love.
The least, the feeblest of the sheep,
To Him the Father gave;
Kind in His heart the charge to keep,
And strong His arm to save.
