“The Lord is my Shepherd”
This semester we will consider different aspects of the Lord being our Shepherd from all over the Bible! We will see what a wonderful, loving, caring Shepherd we have and how we should follow His pattern to also shepherd others. Portions of the Scriptures we will consider include:
- Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd; I will lack nothing.”
- Isaiah 40:10-11 “Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty One, / And His arm will rule for Him. / Behold, His reward is with Him, / And His recompense before Him. He will feed His flock as a Shepherd; / In His arm He will gather the lambs; / In His bosom He will carry them. / He will lead those who are nursing the young.“
- John 10:11 “I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
- Hebrews 13: 20 “Now the God of peace, He who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, in the blood of an eternal covenant.”
- 1 Peter 5:4 “And when the Chief Shepherd is manifested, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.”
- 1 Peter 2:25 “For you were like sheep being led astray, but you have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
- Revelation 7:16-17 “They will not hunger anymore, neither will they thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat upon them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and guide them to springs of waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
