The Good Shepherd: Part 1

In this profound exploration of shepherding in Scripture, we're invited to delve deeper into our identity as God's sheep. The central focus is on John 21, where Jesus restores Peter and commands him to tend His flock. This powerful narrative reminds us that to truly understand Psalm 23, we must first recognize ourselves as part of Christ's flock. The dialogue between Jesus and Peter reveals the depth of love required - not just phileo (brotherly love), but agape (unconditional, divine love). This challenges us to examine our own love for Christ and how we care for others in His name. The message emphasizes our need for spiritual nourishment, living water, and the ability to hear and follow the Shepherd's voice. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to consider: Are we truly listening for Christ's voice in our lives? Are we allowing ourselves to be led by the Good Shepherd?
