Good Shepherd Sunday

Today, it is particularly true that we would be unable to get by in our increasingly confused and unclear world if we had no shepherds.  My accountant, my financial advisor, my personal trainer, my computer assistant, the satellite navigation system on my car – these could all be compared to shepherds, without whom we would be unable to find our way around.  Increasingly, we appear incapable of getting by without shepherds, without people who navigate us through this world, showing us how to go forward, how to avoid dead ends and how to reach our goal. Sometimes, we also follow shepherds who take us along dangerous and false paths and deceive us.

Why do Christians refer to Jesus as the only really Good Shepherd? 

First, because He gives His life for us;

second, because He speaks with us directly;

third, because He brings God Himself into our lives.

You are welcome to come and hear more this Sunday.
