Adult Message: The Good Shepherd

Presented by Cheri Dood

Highlights from the Message:

- Let us remember that Jesus is the ultimate Good Shepherd

- He watches; protects, lays down His life for his sheep (us)

- Think of the many times that we have been in danger and God was there in the time of trouble.

- As sheep (followers of Christ) we are to hear his voice and know Him

How Can We Be Good Shepherds?

(1) Have a Mary’s heart in a Martha’s world. Remember that when Jesus visited the house of Mary and Martha, that Martha was the one busy doing things around the house and Mary took time to listen and fellowship with Jesus. It is good to be doing God’s work and to live our life to the fullest. At the same time we must make the time to stop and listen to one another, to know the heart.

(2) Study God’s Word:

As followers of Christ, this basic principle is very important to know Jesus and what His message is for us. If we do not study The Word then how can know the way of God?

(3) Spend Time With Him In Prayer:

The sheep must know who the shepherd is in order to follow him. One way to know him is by his voice. In the same way we need to spend time in prayer to intimately know the voice of God and to share with Him what is in our hearts. This is why we have two ears and one mouth.

(4) Love In Speech, Action, In Truth:

In following Jesus’ example, we must keep in mind that every time we do our say something, to walk in the love of Christ. Sometimes it might be hard and in those times we need to focus on the love the Christ shows us in everything He did/does for us.

(5) Give Yourself Selflessly:

People may think giving freely of oneself is like being a doormat, however, Christ has shown us that we are we are care for one another without restrictions. It is when we give selflessly, that we become closer to understanding how to be a good shepherd.
