“I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11
“For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.” 1 Peter 2:25
Have you ever heard a sermon that goes something like this? Our Father has a blessing for us and He is waiting for us and asking why don’t we come and get it? Why don’t we come into the Throne Room? Why don’t we enter the Holy of Holies? Why don’t we accept our healing? Why don’t we do this or that, so that God can pour out His blessings upon us?
Does anyone ever ask the sheep why they don’t just go over that hill to the meadow with the good pasture, instead of hanging out in the dirt? Or do we ask them why don’t they just go through the gate to the calm stream, so that they may drink the fresh, clear, and cool water? Absolutely not! The sheep have a shepherd and the shepherd leads them to these places of abundance! The Shepherd insures that they get there and he insures that they are protected as he leads them there. And praise God we now have the Good Shepherd, Who not only gave His life for us, but Who now ever lives to intercede for us, so that we might be saved to the uttermost, as we have life and have it more abundantly, Hebrews 7:25 Amplified; John 10:10.
We are never left alone to find the abundance of our Father through our own efforts. Our Father is never asking us why we don’t come in to receive His blessings, because He is always leading us into His greatness! God knew who and what we were, so He gave us Jesus and Jesus leads us into the abundance of Him. Jesus eternally leads us in the paths of righteousness for His Names sake! We now have the very peace of Jesus that passes all understanding because we have been empowered to know the Truth that has set us free. The Truth is we now have Jesus to Shepherd us into enjoying and living in the fullness and abundant blessings of God Himself! If we need to go anywhere to get the blessings of our Father, Jesus is the One Who is shepherding us there! A-men!
We are eternally blessed in the power of His might and because the righteous requirements of the law are fully met within us by the Blood of Jesus, the abundant blessings of our Father overtake us as Deuteronomy 28:2 proclaims they will!
