Word of the Week

SHEPHERD

Without any apology or explanation, David says that the Lord is a Shepherd to him. And not just like—God is a Shepherd. Being a shepherd was a poor man’s position in the Bible. It was the lowest of duties. The shepherd was literally among the sheep all the time—24/7/365. There was never a time when a shepherd would leave his sheep. The sheep might wander off, but the shepherd never would. He would always be with them. God does not shrink back from the image of the shepherd. In fact, Jesus embraced it for Himself. He even amplified it. He called Himself the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd watches over the flock. The Good Shepherd knows each of the sheep by name. The Good Shepherd leads His sheep. In one analogy, Jesus says that the shepherd’s job is to guard the sheep in a holding pen by literally laying down his life for their safety. God (in Christ) cares for us the way a shepherd would care for his own sheep.
