He Lays Down His Life
Target Date: 12.06.09 – See CTT Page
The focus this week is on Jesus’ willingness to give His life for us, His sheep. Unlike false shepherds who are only out for their own good and gain, Jesus is willing to lay down His life for us. There are two powerful ways this is true. The faithful shepherd lays down across the opening of the pasture sheep pen to protect the sheep at night and he is willing to give his life to protect the sheep from predators.

Calls Me by Name

The focus this week is on how Jesus knows us, inside and out, and calls us by name. This focuses on the Shepherd’s knowledge of His sheep — and His knowledge of me! The Shepherd’s knowledge of us is complete and personal.
