NEVER WITHOUT A SHEPHERD!
What a LONELY IMAGE
We have=in
Today’s gospel
SOME sheep have wandered off
Because of a DISTRACTION=
The truth is
They were ABANDONED
By their SHEPHERDS=
Left without direction or security
“……..they were troubled
AND ABANDONED-like sheep
Without a SHEPHERD”
Matthew 9:36
How fortunate for us-
We do NOT worship
Such a God
Our God=our Holy Jesus
Left us WORDS to live by
Words of love-forgiveness=and KINDNESS
And he left us=the NEW TESTAMENT
Of the bible
HOW UNFORTUNATE for us
That we do not live=THIS HOLY BOOK
Many of us=just don’t bother
To PICK UP the BIBLE
One thing for sure
Is that we are
NEVER WITHOUT A SHEPHERD!
He tries to lead us
We should have SENSE ENOUGH
To try and follow
“He tends his flock
LIKE A SHEPHERD=
He gathers the lambs
In his arms…….”
Isaiah 40:11
“He who scattered Israel
Will gather them
And will watch=over his flock
LIKE A SHEPHERD”
Jeremiah 31:10
“I am THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Good Shepherd
Lays down his life
For his flock”
John 10:11
Jesus is NOT
A HIRED HAND=he is
The GOOD SHEPHERD
We should always
Follow him=we should
Live with
THE FRUITS of the Spirit
Our God=Our Jesus=NEVER ABANDONS US!
We are=
NEVER WITHOUT A SHEPHERD!
Even with this=sometimes
We despair=we feel
Our God has left us
But the truth is
Even in OUR WORST DAYS
We are never abandoned
Our God is=ALWAYS WITH US
Jesus KNOWS and understands
ALL of our sufferings
He NEVER abandons us
We are sheep=we ALWAYS
Have a leader=we are
NEVER WITHOUT A SHEPHERD!
“And when
The Chief SHEPHERD appears
You will receive=the crown of glory
That will never fade away”
1 Peter 5:4
Dear Lord=we say THANK YOU
For leading us
For never leaving us
For we are NEVER SHEEP
WITHOUT A SHEPHERD!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LEADING Holy
Father God!
