THE GOOD SHEPHERD

  Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. {Joh 14:6} ;

Jesus said again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. {Joh 10:7}

At the very moment that Jesus drew His last breath on that old rugged cross...

Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split.  The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;  and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.  Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!" {Mat 27:51-54}

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit. {1Pe 3:18}

For through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.  So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household. {Eph 2:18-19}

Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,  by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,  and since we have a great priest over the house of God,  let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;  and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,  not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. {Heb 10:19-25}

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.  Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. {Heb 4:14-16}

Say His name. Call on Him to enter your heart. Welcome Him to change you into a vessel for His purposes using the talents and characteristics that He gave you while you were yet in your mother's womb. Before you drew your first breath. Praise Him and welcome Him, let Him lead you in all that you do now and forevermore, AMEN
