When we look at a flock of sheep, we usually just see a bunch of sheep. When We look at a crown of people, we usually just see a bunch of people. When Jesus looks at a crowd of people, He sees all of them, individually. He see each person. When a good shepherd looks at his flock, he sees the individual sheep, and knows them by name as well. They all matter. Every sheep matters to the shepherd, and every person matters to Jesus.
Today's memory verse:
John 10:14
"I am the god shepherd. I know my sheep, as the Father knows me. And my sheep know me."
