God’s Chosen Shepherd
Target Date: 11.08.09 – See CTT Page
The focus on this message is Jesus. Jesus is God’s chosen Shepherd for His people. Jesus enters by the gate to sheep pen. He doesn’t sneak His way in, but comes in as the approved Shepherd. Jesus comes as descendant of David and Abraham, two of the three great shepherds of God’s people. Jesus is the promised great prophet like Moses, whose teachings help pastor God’s people. God saw His people scattered, harassed, and abandoned, and sent the only One who could truly Shepherd His people, Jesus, the Great Shepherd of God’s sheep.
