Jesus: The Good Shepherd

Jesus: The Good Shepherd

John 10:7-11, “Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.”

I am so thankful that in 1987, as a teenager, I entered in through the door into the sheepfold of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I came to the realization that night that I was a lost sinner, dead in trespasses and sins, and that I needed to be saved. Under conviction, I confessed my sin before a righteous and holy God, and accepted the gift of Salvation by faith. I knew that the only source of forgiveness and the only way to Heaven was through Jesus. The Bible states in John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” This good shepherd, gave His life for me. I am one of His sheep, and He is mine.
