I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:11 The good shepherd is whole, if He was only a good shepherd, He would be nothing, but a mere shepherd with no power. As I have said throughout this series God is only God because of His wholeness. the good shepherd is Jesus and the sheep our us his flock.
John 10:11, and 14 are the only two verses that talk about the great Shepherd. The good shepherd is one facet of God that helps and is with us and keeps us safe from harm and evil but if He wasn't doing this as a whole He would as I said be a mere shepherd and will run like the verse says next. He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters the flock. John 10:12. It goes on to say that he does not care in verse 13. He flees because he is a hired hand and does not care about the sheep.
Only the good shepherd in oneness, the great I Am, can do what the verse I used in the beginning says. even though it is only said twice in the Bible, I think it is important and know it is important because it was a parable of Jesus, and the things Jesus Said are very important and worthy of importance. The word is God so anything the bible says is worthy of Praise and thanks to God.
If you go further in the parable the good shepherd is not for just us but for the unbeliever which it talks about in verse 16. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become one flock, with one shepherd. God in oneness is for everyone but some of the facets of God are not shown to everyone. anyone can come to God, but certain things are not shown right away because they would not understand, only as we grow as a Christian are some things shown. In the case of the good shepherd which we are talking about verse 16 answers that, and it is shown to everyone.
We are the sheep, and we are not just to seek the good shepherd but to seek God in oneness, The great I Am. Do not part out God in your life let Him be whole and worship Him As such.
God thank you and praise you
You are my good shepherd
You all our things to me
You are the great I Am
I worship and give you reverence in that fact
you made the heaven and the earth
and in all things created them
you are the alpha and omega
the beginning and the end
It is finished with you
Because you are whole sitting in heaven on the throne
In Jesus' Name, I Pray,
Amen
Have a blessed day!!!!!!
All bible verses taken from the NASB
Amen
