Seeking His Lost Sheep

Seeking His Lost Sheep

"And Jesus said unto him, "This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:9-10

My Good Shepherd…
My Great Shepherd…
My Chief Shepherd…

(As promised in Ezekiel 34 and John 10)

Join us as we explore the Newer and Older Testament promises of a saving Shepherd who will gather the His flock.

A Crucified Shepherd

He always always always always leads His sheep, as He leads, in triumph… and through them He diffuses the aroma of the presence of Himself and His knowledge — to the likeminded it is the reminders of life and grace and hope and joy and love and peace and beauty found only in Him but to others it's a stench of rottenness and death that they want no part of. As David reminds us: "With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward/twisted/crooked thou wilt shew thyself unsavory/an unwanted stench." (Psalms 18:25-26 ; 2 Samuel 22:26-27)

We stink to them because our God stinks to them yet the god they fashion in their twisted hearts smells good to them but those Jesus freaks stink…

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph IN Christ, and THROUGH us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in EVERY place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life… (2 Corinthians 2:14-17)
