The World Needs a Stable Influence
We Need a Shepherd
Psalm 23
- Shepherds must be fierce in protecting their sheep. Sheep, left to themselves, make poor shepherds. (1 Sam. 17:34-36; Luke 15:4-7)
- Sheep bear the marks of their shepherd. (Psalm 23:2-3, 5; Gal. 5:22-23)
- Shepherds bring life to their flock. Sheep cannot live without a shepherd. (Psalm 23:6; John 10:10)
Final Thought: When the Good Shepherd calls, do you answer? (John 10:14-16, 27)
Series Information
Throughout this study we will visit the fields around Bethlehem as God worked toward the coming of our Savior and His Son. The night Jesus was born, we are told shepherds were in those fields and they were visited by angels. But God’s footprints in and around Bethlehem had been evident for centuries … and if we look closely, in those stories we see much about the one to come.
