Shepherds

“It says he is your shepherd and he's my shepherd. What that means is that means he's accessible in every moment of every day, in every life circumstance that we find ourselves in. We don't have to wait for this. It is now. It says the Lord is, number four, my shepherd.”

“And every one of us has to pause and say, God, why the shepherds? Why the shepherds? Now, obviously, the shepherd metaphor is used throughout the Bible. Psalm 23, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me to lay down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.”

“The good shepherd who rules to ensure our destiny. We talked about the good shepherd who rules in the presence of my enemies and the good shepherd who rules with a promise of sufficiency, but this good shepherd rules to ensure our destiny. And I will dwell where? In the house of the Lord. How long? Forever. My destiny is with Jesus.”
