Carried

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep.
Jn.10:11

Jesus addresses Pharisees who are enraged by Jesus healing a blind man on the Sabbath. He highlights the difference between their shepherding and his. He is prepared to lay down his very life.

I associate with the sheep carried across Jesus' shoulders. I'm weak. I stray. I get lost. I follow my own path. I need such a shepherd.

Thank you Lord that you carry me home again and again. You are my good shepherd. I am your sheep.
