Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be born again if he was to see the kingdom of God. Spiritual rebirth had long been understood by the Jews of the Old Testament, but for some reason Nicodemus failed to understand. Unfortunately, many still have problems with surrendering their intellect, emotion, and will to God. Have you been born again?
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
