Jesus The Good Shepherd - By Erick & Vida Li Sik

David wrote Psalm 23, describing God as a shepherd who lovingly cares for his flock—His people. With God leading us, we can live with contentment even when the world around us feels like it’s falling apart. He provides, protects, and guides.

In the New Testament, that same role is fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who calls himself the Good Shepherd in John 10. So the question is: do you desire godly companionship and guidance in your life, or are you trying to go it alone like a stubborn sheep that refuses to be led?

God also places people in our lives as spiritual mentors—shepherds who lead by example, helping us grow in faith, mature, and eventually help others. This often means laying down our lives for our friends, just as Jesus did.

We’re in a spiritual battle, and we need God’s protection and direction. At the same time, we’re called to reflect that same care for others. The invitation is simple but challenging: be with Jesus, become like him, and do what he did.
