The Good Shepherd

One of my favorite Bible verses is John 10:10. Jesus says, “I have come that they might have life, and have it to the full.”

He continues with this amazing statement: “I am the good shepherd…and I lay down my life for the sheep.”

Jesus was using the analogy of a shepherd who loves and cares for his sheep to describe His relationship with us. He is God, but He came to this world because He loves humankind to the extent that He was willing to die for us.

Later in John chapter 10 Jesus alluded to His death on the cross by saying that “No one takes {my life}from me, I lay it down of my own accord.” 

Never think of yourself as being of little worth. Just remember the Good Shepherd who died to save you. And not only to save you but to give you life to the full. I hope you will open your heart to Him today.
