A few weeks ago, I spoke about how God is our Good Shepherd. He knows His sheep and they know His voice. As the Good Shepherd, He knows what He is doing and knows what we need. He leads us beside the still waters, into green pastures and prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies. In Him, we find rest and can enter into His presence with joy. Last week Sheri gave us a timely message about how God pursues us! He doesn’t want one lost and goes to great lengths to find the one! He keeps at it until it is found!
Let’s look again at Jesus’ words in John 10.
John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me, 15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

God Pursues Us
We have been looking at how our God is the Good Shepherd. He lays down His life for the sheep. Sheri brings this message this week about how God pursues us. He would leave the ninety-nine to search for the one-Until He Finds It!
God is searching for each of you. Will you hear His voice calling out your name?
We hope you are encouraged by this message.

The Good Shepherd
This week we’re looking at how God is our Good Shepherd.
The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. The word translated “good” means “intrinsically good, beautiful, fair.” It describes that which is the ideal, the model that others may safely imitate and follow. God’s goodness was permanently in His character and His nature. To call Jesus “good” is the same as calling Him “God”.
The Good Shepherd purchases the sheep, and they are His because He died for them. They belong to Him, and He cares for them.
In Scotland there are loads of sheep. You don’t need to drive too long before you see sheep. One thing we don’t see here, compared to other cultures, are shepherds. In Romania, we saw shepherds who stayed with the sheep at all times. To be fair they have wolves and bears there and have to keep them safe.
Psalm 23 is a beautiful description of how the Good Shepherd cares for His sheep. In the pastures, by the waters, and even through the valleys, the sheep do not need to fear, because the shepherd is caring for them and meeting their needs. If you connect Psalm 23:1 and verse 6, you get the main theme: “I shall not want … all the days of my life.”
