Psalm 23
Nehemiah 9:6-15
1 Peter 2:19-25
John 10:1-10
Jesus is the Good Shepherd and that is fantastic news because, boy do we need one. We are wayward sheep like Peter says in that reading and wayward sheep need a good shepherd to keep them safe and secure. In this time of plague and fear, we need to know our Good Shepherd and we need to stay close to him. We need to remind ourselves all He has done for us but that includes knowing church history, all that He did in times of war, plague, famine and persecution. Knowing that gives us comfort that the church has persevered through the millenia by God's grace and goodness, it is, for some reason, His chosen vessel and it has and always will persevere. And so shall we.
