As you can imagine, friends often share blogs and articles about shepherding and the Good Shepherd with me. This blog I’m passing on to you today is from Liberty Quartet and was forwarded to me recently by a friend. When I saw the piece of art that it is referencing and read the words associated with it, I just had to share it.
The drawing at the beginning of the article so beautifully shows our dear Good, Great, and Chief Shepherd intently embracing a sheep. It’s not just a polite hug, but one with deep meaning. Jesus is nestling this dear one so closely that picturing myself in the sheep’s place was enormously reassuring to me today. I pray it will be for you, as well…
Read now and let us know your thoughts below.
DIGGING DEEPER QUESTIONS:
- One of the questions asked in this blog post is, “How comforting is it to be held by our Shepherd?” In the same vein, how are you “holding” the sheep in your life?
- Do you feel safe in Jesus’ arms? And would the sheep you lead say they feel safe in yours? Why or why not?
- “Our minds can be guarded and renewed by the transforming power of Christ.” In what ways can you practically do this in your own life?
