Ezekiel 34:23 I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd.
Sunday was a great day for sheep and for shepherds. Jesus is the Great Shepherd and we reminded ourselves of that. We reminded ourselves that the Great Shepherd provides for, cares for, feeds, and protects his sheep. We are sheep and we are fed and nurtured. It's good to be taken care of. Whether you're a parent responsible for someone else or you're in the case of being cared for by another person - whether a nurse or a mother or a child... it's always good to know that you are being taken care of.
Jesus is our Great Shepherd. Jesus cares for us.
And Jesus/God have given us people in our lives over and over who care for us as more temporal shepherds. David. Your mom. Many others. They are all "God with skin on." Thanks be to God for all of these people who shepherd us in our lives.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
Worship this Sunday at 8:30 and 11.
