Pensamento:
Não é absolutamente inacreditável que o Deus Supremo do universo nos amaria tão generosamente?! Ele nos mostrou seu amor por nós no passado através de Jesus. Ele mostrará seu amor por nós de novo dramaticamente quando Jesus voltar – não para dar sua vida por nós, mas para compartilhar sua vida conosco! Venha, doce Pastor, venha!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
These words come from Jesus, who describes his role as the Good Shepherd David described in Psalm 23. If we refuse to let the familiarity of these words get in the way of their astounding grace, we realize their astonishing reality. The supreme God of the universe loves us so generously and is involved in our individual lives specifically and lovingly! He has shown his kindness to us in the past through Jesus and the grace and mercy Jesus brought us when we were undeserving (Romans 5:6-11). The Lord now leads, guides, and cares for us as our Good Shepherd. And, he will dramatically show his love for us again when Jesus returns — not to give his life for us, not just to guide us in our lives today, but also to share his life with us forever! Come, sweet Shepherd, come!
Oração:
Querido Pai Celestial, obrigado por revelar-se para Israel como o Grande Pastor. Obrigado por enviar Jesus para ser o Bom Pastor que sacrificou sua vida por mim. Agora, por favor, aceite meu compromisso e as ações da minha vida para ser um sacrifício de agradecimento e louvor ao Senhor por tudo que o Senhor tem feito. Em nome de Jesus. Amém. || Veja a imagem http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_joao10_11.html
My Prayer...
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for revealing yourself to Israel as the Great Shepherd and for sending Jesus to be the Good Shepherd who sacrificed his life for me.

In Jesus' name, I thank you. Amen.
