When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.- Mk 6:34
My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;
I know them, and they follow me. – Jn 10:27
He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near, for through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. – Eph 2:17-18
He guides me in right paths
for his name’s sake. – Ps 23:3
Woe to the shepherds who mislead and scatter the flock of my pasture, says the LORD. – Jer 23:1
the good shepherd
feels compassion for all
who come to him
he regards not
their birthright
he considers not
their social class
he judges not
their worthiness
under the law
he welcomes all
who choose to repent
and follow him
woe to those
false preachers
who turn away any
who hears his voice
woe to those
false shepherds
who mislead his flock
woe to those
false teachers
who scatter his followers
the Kingdom of God
is here
Longing For Water
