The Good Shepherd

[Twistie]

Just laying here pondering with the Lord Listening to what He's telling me.. these are my favorite moments..

N I Hear Him say.. The Good Shepherd...


N then He took me back during Moses n he showed me how Moses who lead the Lords people not only served the Lord but also the people that was with him...
Like fed both spiritual n food for the belly at times..

Then I was in the days of the Messiah when all them people followed Him... He did the same

All's I see in them temples is the shepherd taking from the people... He don't know their names He don't visit any of the elderly ones when they r sick..


My question is are there any true ones out there anymore??

● John 6:37 . . All that the Father gives me will come to me,

FAQ: What percentage of those the Father gives him would you suppose Jesus
expects to lose?

REPLY: The good shepherd doesn't have any lost sheep. What do you take him for:
a run of the mill cowboy? All those that God entrusted to His son's care are safe
and sound.

● John 10:9 . . I am the gate; whoever enters through me shall be saved.

Were Christ a common ranch hand; then he wouldn't dare say "shall be" saved; no,
he'd have to tone it down a bit and say "can be" saved. That would leave him some
room for error. But when Christ says "shall be" he's claiming a 0.0% failure rate.

● John 10:27-28 . . No one can snatch them out of my hand.

FAQ: Why can't the sheep of their own free will take themselves out of his hand?

REPLY: They wouldn't get very far because the Father's free will trumps the sheep's
free will.

● John 6:39 . .This is the will of the one who sent me; that I should not lose
anything of what He gave me.

So then, were Christ to lose even one of the sheep, he would disappoint the one
who sent him. But Christ never fails to satisfy his Father's expectations.

● John 14:31 . . That the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father
gave me commandment, even so I do.

● John 8:29 . .The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I
always do what is pleasing to Him.

Were Christ to lose even one of the sheep given to him by the Father, he wouldn't
be able to say that he "always" pleases the one who sent him. He might claim some
of the time, or even most of the time, but never all the time. And besides: Jesus
has all the powers of the supreme being at his disposal to keep the sheep right
where he wants them-- no, they're not leaving home without him.

* When people say that it's possible for Jesus to lose sheep; they are actually
casting a vote of no-confidence in his Father's approval rating.

● Matt 3:16-17 . . As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At
that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a
dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said; "This is My son, whom I
love; with him I am well pleased."

Yes there only is the only true good shepherd..

I was just wondering is there any leaders of any temples that truly walk the way we r shown.

Seems many got their congregation (sheep) feeding them.
