Shepherd And Sheep—The Secret To The Abundant Life (Classic Sermon)
God wants you to lack in no area. Now the Lord said this to me. My people have received me as their Savior, but many are still lacking because they do not know me as their shepherd. There’ll be no lack in your life when the Lord is your shepherd. Jesus, how come you’re so worried? It’s my responsibility.
I will not look good if you’re not taken care of. Are you a ship? You qualified to hear his voice? You don’t have to be smart to be blessed by God. Amen. You just need to follow Him because He has all the smartness. He has all the wisdom. As long He’s in front of you, goodness and mercy will hunt you down. What a perspective.
What a way to face life. Amen. Hallelujah. And we have something fresh from the throne of God and I’m so excited that my concern is that I might really keep you here for the next three hours. Hallelujah. I’m just teasing. Praise the Lord. But it’s really a wonderful time that I had with the Lord in the word where he open up some things and he wants you to know some things.
Church, your father wants you to know something from him. He wants you to believe that he loves you. Not just know it, but believe he loves you. He wants you to see Him especially, especially Jesus. He wants you to see Jesus as your shepherd. Amen of all the pictures that God gives us in the Bible. Alright? The most frequent expression or picture of God is dead of a shepherd and God’s people is dead of a flock.
The most frequently used. Now, the Bible uses a picture of God as the eagle, mother, eagle, or mother hand, and rightly so, but it’s not frequently used the picture of God as master, and we are his servants. That’s true. It’s all true, but it’s not frequently used the picture of God as the master workman and all of us as workman in his vineyard.
It’s all true, but the most utilized metaphor of the Lord or picture of the Lord that God wants us to have, and it’s often used both in the old and the new. It is something that both old and new used often. Amen is dead of the shepherd and the sheep. I think that’s something that we rub ourselves off when we don’t remind ourselves of this relationship. Amen.
