Jesus from the book of Psalms.

  The bible from  the sixty six books  revealed our Lord JESUS CHRIST.

He said you should search the scriptures and affirm it.

John  5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

The Bible from the book of Psalms revealed Jesus as Shepherd.

 . Psalms 23:1. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

We are dividing the study into three parts 

1. Jesus the  Shepherd 

2.  Jesus and the  sheep 

3. Jesus and  the  sinners

1. Jesus the  Shepherd 

       The greatest revelation of our Lord JESUS CHRIST is to know Him as shepherd.

  Your knowledge of Him in this office is both beautiful and dreadful. 

The Holy Spirit through the gospel books of Mathew and John  and the epistles of  both Peter and Paul affirmed  Christ Jesus as our Shepherd.  

John 10:14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 

Hebrews 13:20. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 

1 Peter 5:4.  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

 Certainly and assuredly without any iota of doubt. Our Lord is the good, great and chief Shepherd of His people.

2.  Jesus and the  sheep

       However, Jesus Christ in His capacity as a Shepherd will rewards only His followers  with both temporal and eternal blessings.

 John 10:27-28. 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.

 It is only the sheep who harken to His voice and receive eternal life from Him, that enjoys these blessings.

Your attitude as a free moral agent created by God, determines, what you receive from JESUS  our Shepherd. The door of opportunity is opened to you now to become a sheep, by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior, confess your sins, forsake them and join a bible believing church to continually fellowship with Him. 

Taking this gracious step now, grant you access to all the blessings.   

Earthly blessings.

Psalms 23. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:  

Eternal blessings.

Psalm 23. and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Matthew  25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:  25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  25:46 but the righteous into life eternal.

Endeavor to be His sheep and benefit from these blessings.

3. Jesus and  the  sinners

      Unfortunately in this capacity also, He will reprimand sinners, referenced to in the bible as goats with severe eternal judgement.

Matthew  25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:  25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:  25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.  

25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:  25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:  25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.  25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?  25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.  25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

     Come now and become a sheep and partake of these incomparable blessings all through your life and for all eternity.

Let us pray.
