Why do you follow Jesus? Why is it worthy to trust yourself to Jesus? “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
I began to understand how good a shepherd Jesus is just recently. I became a Christian seven years ago, I knew the redemption through Jesus from the Bible especially Romans and shared with others and I committed my life to follow way of God, but I didn’t realize he loves me like a good shepherd recently until I began to serve God as a shepherd of his sheep.
In the Lent 2013, I am mediating John 13:1-19:30 every day with the help of a 40 day Lenten Bible Study “The Cross of Christ”. The Jesus I know is not just Son of God who came to us and died for us, but he is a man living with his disciples and concerning about his disciples even before he was arrested and crucified. He concerns about his disciples like a friend. His image of love appeared vividly in my heart, and I was warmed inside by this love, this good shepherd.
Jesus said to Peter, “take care of my sheep”. A church minister is not a person who leads the church or teaches the Bible, but a person who love sheep of Jesus as he was loved by Jesus.
