ALL-SURROUNDING LOVE. “I am the good Shepherd.The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep”(John 10:11) ‘Sheep and goats were very precious livestock to the Palestinian shepherds.They provided most of what the people needed for their livelihood and well-being.The shepherd took special care of them by leading them to pastures and water,by protecting them,by keeping them on the right path,and by searching for the ones that went astray. Jesus calls Himself the good Shepherd who cares for God’s precious children.He provides for your daily needs,protects you,shows you the path of righteousness,and searches for you when you go astray.Then He lovingly brings you back to the safety of the flock. However,there is one crucial difference between the Palestinian shepherd and his flock,and the good Shepherd and His children.In order to enjoy the care and protection of the shepherd,the flock had to provide for the needs of the people.Jesus Christ,the good Shepherd,however,offers you His protection and immeasurable love,and asks only that you love Him in return.Is it too high a price to pay for a love that exceeds all other loves by far?’
