Once I visited a farm where the children had a pet lamb named Wuggins. The children were raising him themselves, for his mother had died.
The country was very hilly. Wuggins liked to play, but often went too far away into the hills and could not find his way home.
One day he went away, and the children were afraid they could never find him again. We all went into the hills to look for him, and called and called but could not find him. While the children searched close by, I went far away looking for him.
After a long time I saw him and called, “Wuggins, Wuggins,” but he did not know my voice; he only ran away. I went back to tell the children, for he knew their voices. So when they got near enough to call him, Wuggins came to them, and they carried him home in their arms. The children were little shepherds who loved their little lamb.
We are all like Wuggins. We are lost, unless we know the Good Shepherd. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Jesus said, “I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd giveth. His life for the sheep.” John 10:1111I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (John 10:11).
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.” John 10:27, 2827My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:27‑28).
The Lord Jesus wants us to come to Him and be saved. All we need to do is believe on Him. Just receive the Lord Jesus as your Saviour. In the Bible God tells us, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31).
The Bible also says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:66All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6).
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:2323For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23).
Jesus died for His sheep. Will you ask the Lord Jesus to be your Good Shepherd and pick you up in His strong arms and carry you to heaven, just as the children carried Wuggins home? Jesus will be your Good Shepherd if you will ask Him. Won’t you ask Him right now? He said:
“I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, AND KNOW MY SHEEP, AND AM KNOWN OF MINE.” John 10:1414I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. (John 10:14).
