    See The Good Shepherd Care For His Sheep

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 6, 2004

     | 11,755 views

    When Jesus reinstated Peter he revealed Himself as the Good Shepherd. He showed His love for one of His sheep by forgiving Peter for the three times he denied Jesus. And He showed His love for His flock by commanding Peter to feed and care for His lambs

    He has a lamb draped over his shoulders. In his hand is the unmistakable shepherd’s staff. A flock of sheep surrounds him. His eyes seem to be looking for danger or searching for a safe place to give his sheep food and water. I imagine that many of you have seen a picture or painting of the ...read more

     | 14,990 views

    The Christian life is about changing and growing. A process of the "before" becoming the "after."

    A. Today, I want to spend a few minutes thinking about the difference that God has made in our lives. 1. We’ve all seen “before and after” pictures used in advertising. 2. For instance, here’s a typical picture of a guy who needed a little help with his hair loss. 3. Here’s a picture of a lady ...read more

    Jacob had his Jabbok, Abraham had his Mt. Moriah, Paul had his Damascus road and Peter had his encounter with Jesus on the Sea of Galilee's shores. That's where Peter began a new life living solely for Christ.
