In my humble opinion, there are few things in this life, more settling to know, than the fact, that the Shepherd has got me covered. The New Testament describes us as sheep; it describes Him as 'the Good Shepherd'. When Jesus saw people, he saw sheep wondering aimlessly, harassed, helpless, lain out flat on their backs, with no way of getting up and surviving.
Scripture then lets us in on a wonderful truth. Here it is: he comes with compassion to our aid. He is truly 'the Compassionate One.' (Matthew 9:36) He is the bestest!
Gang, revel in the fact, that we have a soft spot in His shepherd-heart. This spot of compassion, care and love for us moves Him to action- to covering us.
It is the bestest!
We want that for all people- the Irish too!
Mark 6:34- "When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd."
