The faithful shepherdess does not wish to be idle while she is watching her sheep and little lamb close by her side. How peaceful they look, and we know she is kind to them, as not one is afraid of her. They know her voice and her tender care.
We love to think of the Lord Jesus, the faithful Shepherd, who has told us in John 10:11.
“I am the good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.” How great was His love for His sheep!
He calls all those who believe on Him, His sheep, and He cares for them in every way.
If you know Him as the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His sheep, He can say of you,
“MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME.” John 10. 27.
