Our Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” John 10:11

From Genesis to Revelation there is abundant evidence of God’s goodness, kindness, gentleness, fatherly care, and incomparable love. One of the most articulate in expressing these characteristics is David the Psalmist. He uses powerful and comforting expressions such as, “God is our refuge and strength,” “He heals the brokenhearted,” and “The Lord will bless His people with peace.” Psalm 46:1; 147:3; 29:11.

However, one of the most comforting phrases comes from his personal experience as a shepherd. David learned to love the sheep that were under his care. He carefully watched over them, fed them, carried them in his arms, gently bound up their wounds, protected them from the weather that would cause them harm, and even risked his life to defend them by fighting off a lion and a bear. So when he uses the words, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” He speaks from a perspective that says volumes about God’s love and concern for us.

My friend, in the same way—whether you noticed or not, and whether you thanked Him or not—God has been nurturing, protecting, and caring for you throughout your life.

In the book of Isaiah the prophet, we can see this continuing revelation of God’s love and care for you and me. Notice what it says: “Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young.” Isaiah 40:10–11.

Now that is a marvelous picture of God! A comforting revelation of God’s true love for us.

Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.” John 10:10–11.

Will you let Him love you that way? Will you allow the Lord to be your Shepherd? Consider the blessings and benefits God is offering you. Psalm 23 says that if you allow the Lord to be your Shepherd, He will restore your soul, lead you in the paths of righteousness, and that even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you don’t have to fear evil because God will be with you. And consider this: surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life.
