Jesus is Waiting

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

You may have heard Jesus described before as the Good Shepherd, but did you know in the same passage that He says, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.” So while Jesus is the Good Shepherd and the gate, The Bible describes us as sheep. And it’s honestly a good metaphor. Sheep will wander off without much thought as to the danger of being away from the shepherd. And the truth is we all do that kind of wandering away from God in our sin. But the Good Shepherd is chasing after us. You know, the Bible has a beautiful picture…it says, “All we like sheep have gone astray, each to our own way, but the Lord has laid upon Him—Jesus—the sin—or iniquity—of us all.” You know, Jesus waits for us to respond to His offer of salvation. The question is for us...what are we waiting for? For more, visit our website at sharelife.today.
