Jesus, our lovely shepherd

Jesus is called the Lord. He is part of the tripartite God. He is known as Emmanuel. He is the Messiah. He is Jehovah. However, there is one name that Jesus usually wants to be identified with His beloved: Shepherd.

A good shepherd will always lead his flock into green pastures. He will always bring them beside still waters. He will path a way when there seems to be no way. He will carry the lost lamp on his shoulder and he will protect his flock with his stuff against attacking animals.

Jesus is the good Shepherd. He will always lead His people into good happenings. He will always brings His people into rest. He will make a way for His beloved where there seems to be no way. He will carry the weary Christian on His strong shoulder and He will protect his people against all forms of attack.

Why Shepherd? Because sheep is very dependent on the shepherd. They depend on the shepherd to lead them to green pastures. They depend on the shepherd to bring them to still waters. They depend on the shepherd to defend them, to keep them safe from all harms. They are totally dependent on their shepherd.

He who promised is able to answer exceedingly what we can ask or think of. Trust Jesus, our lovely Shepherd.
