1 Samuel 1, 1 Samuel 2: 1-26, John 10: 22-42, Psalm 77: 10-20
John 10: 27-29 (ESV)
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow
me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will
snatch them out of my hand. My Father,
who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch
them out of the Father's hand.”
Verses 27 through 29 from John 10 shows Christ talking about
his followers and the promises, blessings, and benefits to anyone who follows
him. Christ is a good shepherd, and he knows his sheep. Christ knows us better
than we even know ourselves. He cares for us, guides us, and makes sure we live
good lives. And through his resurrection, Christ promises us eternal life with
him where we will never perish. Christ also promises that we will not be snatched
from him. We are safe with Christ, and since Jesus and God are one, we are in
hands of the one who created the world.
Christ as the good shepherd is a wonderful metaphor to
remember whenever we perhaps think God doesn’t look after us. Christ always
look after his sheep, and he sees many things we might not see with out limited
point of view. What we may think is the worst thing that has ever happened to
us, turns out to be the best thing because God is always guiding us in our
life.
