Weekly Devotion—March 19, 2025
By Pastor Chris Simmons
Know always that God’s Grace, Mercy, and Peace are yours through Jesus Christ.
What are some things you are “known for”? Maybe it’s a certain dish you cook, personality trait, former career?
Is there anything you wish you were known for? Things you aspire to be?
John 10:11
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Jesus is known by what He has done for us. As He says “I AM the Good Shepherd” He is known by how He has laid down His life for us. Time and time again, we can look through our lives for those moments where we were/are guided by our Good Shepherd. When you’ve sinned, done wrong, or the world is oppressing you and it’s just got you down. Look to Jesus, our Good Shepherd, and see the character of a loving God.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, we know who you are by what you’ve done. Thank you, though we wander, that you are the Good Shepherd that brings us back to your flock. Help us to see and know the gift of Life we have because you laid down your life for our sake. We pray this all in the name of Jesus. Amen.
