On Sunday, August 9, we looked at the phrase in John 3:16, “whoever believes in him.” Whoever is a universal invitation. No matter who you are, your gender, race, age, income, background, etc. God has invited you into a relationship with Him through his Son. Belief is being “fully persuaded” and ultimately receiving Jesus into your heart. We put our faith and trust in a person, not a philosophy. We are called to believe in Jesus as the way, the truth and the life… the only name under heaven by which we must be saved.
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.
