Let's reflect on Christ and His sacrifice for us.

John 10 records the claims of Jesus and the varying responses of the Jewish religious leaders. All through history, God is eager to reveal Himself to whoever is seeking. Even in dark times like this current coronavirus pandemic, if we pay attention we will hear God’s invitation to draw closer. How we respond to this invitation makes all the difference!

Jesus says in John 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” This is the promise of Jesus to all the sheep in His flock. Our circumstances do not negate the promises of God. Do not allow anything to rob you of the gift of abundant life you have received from Christ!

All through the ages, Christians have turned to an imagery of God in the Bible in seasons of difficulty. In moments of distress, this image of God is calming and reassuring. It is this beautiful picture in the Bible of God as our Shepherd. Our security lies in knowing the Good Shepherd who watches over His sheep!
