Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-20

John 10:14-15 (NKJV) 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15 As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

Jesus refers to Himself as the Good Shepherd!

He reminds us that He knows His sheep, which are those who have put their faith and trust in Him.

But He also says He is known by His own. In other words, His children (sheep) know Him. That’s you and I.

If we don’t know Him in the place where we are right now, we’d better move toward getting to know Him.

We’d better be asking Him, “What move do we need to make to get there?”.

Everyone is different.

Some need to understand that they have turned away from Him through different changes and situations that have taken place in their life.

Some have never been close. They gave their life to Christ the Good Shepherd, but have never allowed His Spirit, to change them, teach them, or draw them closer and deeper to their Savior.

Some may have started changing immediately after they put their faith in Him, but got bored, lost interest, and dried up. Now, they found a new something that has taken the place of Christ.

There are many other reasons. These are just a few.

He says He laid down His life for us. Everything He was, He gave up for us. Nothing will ever compare to that.

What will we lay down for Him?

Will we at least desire and make an effort to know Him?

It’s all up to us.

Jeremiah 29:13 (NKJV) 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
