Christ is the God Shepherd whose sheep know and obey his voice.
Our God is our great Shepherd and Redeemer whom we can trust.
We can be confident that in his good providence, our God will bring all his people safely home.
Are we living as though we truly believe the LORD is God, our simply going through religious motions?
The Christian's confidence comes from what the Lord Jesus Christ has done as our Great High Priest.
The job of the Christian minister isn't to smile more - it is to be text-based, and Christ-centered, so that you treasure Jesus Christ above all other things.
