Two Views Of A Shepherd

[Pastor Dr. Michael M Sherrod]

Jesus gave two views of the shepherd in ( John 10:11-18 ) .Jesus compared Himself as the " good shepherd' to the ''hireling'' who flees because of danger . The hireling leaves the sheep to be caught by the enemy . The hireling is there only for the pay , compliments , and convenience and will not run a risk for the sheep . Jesus said that the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep , even those outside the fold , that they may be brought into the fold . Right now , God's Holy Spirit may be challenging your heart on this subject . You are not hireling: you have the heart of a good shepherd but may have lost the clarity of the call of the lost . You honestly have the courage and commitment inside of you ! That commitment and courage needs to come alive again , you need a way to make it happen .God Bless you all .
