Following Jesus

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 28, 2017

Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?

"My Good Shepherd”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 17, 2024

In John 10 Jesus reaffirms that He is fulfilling Ezekiel 34. Psalm 23 is a Psalm that touches a deep place within our souls. Why would Jesus compare Himself to a “shepherd” if in His own culture the role of the “shepherd” was a profession that was rejected?

In Jesus Holy Name April 21, 2024 Text: Psalm 23:1-3, John 10:11 Redeemer “My Good Shepherd” Psalm 23, may be the most familiar and favorite of all the psalms. The affirmation of God as our good shepherd implies a truth that touches a deep place within our souls. “Even ...read more

John's readers who have chosen to hear Jesus, and follow him, and become part of his flock, have upgraded their shepherd. Jesus is a better shepherd than the Pharisees.

Let's start today by simply reading John 10:1: (1) Truly, truly, I say to you, the one not entering through the gate/door into the inner courtyard of the sheep, but going up from some other place-- that one, a thief, he is, and a robber. When we read this, we should notice something, ...read more

Truth In Shepherding

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 28, 2023

If we follow the true shepherd, its better to be a sheep in God’s pasture than anything else in the world.

Just about everybody knows, I think, that one of the reasons God so often calls his people sheep and himself the shepherd is because sheep are so stupid. What I don’t think people realize is that sheep were also incredibly valuable. Sheep were one of Israel’s most important economic resources. A ...read more

Persecuted: Why? Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 1, 2023

The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more
