#Christ the good shepherd

[tabernacleheart]

Jesus pursues the lost sheep, and there's no measurement for how lost a sheep has to be for Jesus to pursue. We are pursued by God regardless of how far we've strayed or what has caused us to stray.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but because I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

I’m sure that this is not a hot take and that a lot of people feel the same way but like…

The question “does it have spice?!🌶️🔥” makes me want to jump off a cliff. I’m out here looking for gothic book recommendations on Reddit, tumblr, and goodreads and WHY is this the first question so many people ask 😭

Look, I love erotica as much as the next person but come on. There have got to be other things that matter when recommending books or choosing to pick one up, my GOD.

Pause for a moment and think about that statement. I lack nothing. Let the truth of that statement fill your heart with peace and gratitude.

My shepherd provides everything I need. 💙

I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well.

[artthatgivesmefeelings]

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, after (Spanish, 1617-1682) The Infant Christ as the Good Shepherd, n.d.

"The work depicts Christ as a child, shepherding his flock of sheep. The source of the subject is a passage in the Gospel of Saint John: ""I am the good shepherd who gives his life for his sheep."" It serves as a metaphor for his future role as shepherd of the faithful, for whom he would give his life."

The Good Shepherd

I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father;  I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. John 10:14-16

“The entire Christian life is a holy pilgrimage for each of us, in which we travel and strive to draw closer to Jesus Christ and His Truth. He is the One who calls us all to leave behind the daily routine and walk the path of holiness…”

The Lost Sheep • Alfred Usher Soord

Oil on canvas • 1898

“Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?

And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭10‬-‭14‬ ‭KJV‬

Christ's Birth Announced

8 And there were shepherds in the same region, spending their nights in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they feared greatly. 10 And the angel said to them, Do not be afraid; for behold, I announce to you good news of great joy, which will be for all the people, 11 Because today a Savior has been born to you in David’s city, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 | Recovery Version (REC) The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible © 2016 Living Stream Ministry.
