Sermon - April 22, 2018 - Good Shepherd Sunday

The sermon for Sunday, April 22, 2018, is based on John 10:11-18

 

Today's Focus: Good Shepherd Sunday.  Author George Smith says:  "In such a landscape as Judea, where a day's pasture is thinly scattered over an unfenced tract of country, covered with delusive paths, frequented by wild beasts, and rolling off into the desert, the shepherd and his character are indispensable.  On some high moor, across which at night the hyenas howl, when you meet him, sleepless, far sighted, weather-beaten, armed, leaning on his staff, and looking out over his scattered sheep, every one of them on his heart, you understand why the shepherd of Judea sprang to the front in his people's history; why they gave his name to their kings; why Christ took him as the type of self-sacrifice."

 

On Good Shepherd Sunday we see the selfless love of our Good Shepherd, our Savior Jessus.  He is risen indeed!
