Title: Happy Pasture of Our Church
A ranch is like an element of a country.
(Territory - Pasture, Sovereignty - Shepherd, People - Flock)
The pasture should be a place where milk and honey flow.
The ranch must be safe and orderly, not to mention abundance.
The shepherd who leads the ranch must be a good shepherd.
The Good Shepherd plans everything, executes everything, and leads it.
The good shepherd does not live the life of a shepherd, but lives for the sheep.
The good shepherd knows the sheep.
The Lord knows our condition and situation as sheep.
Knows your needs, prepares and supplies.
A shepherd gives his life for the sheep.
As our shepherd, Jesus came for the people, died and rose again for us.
The sheep are pure and completely dependent on the shepherd.
You must be able to listen to the voice of the shepherd.
Just as Israel leaned on and obeyed the sound of a trumpet, a pillar of fire, and a pillar of cloud in the wilderness, the sheep must always listen to the voice of the shepherd and keep their eyes on the shepherd.
The green pasture is the word of God to be supplied to the flock.
There is not one type of grass, but a variety of pastures.
There are words of comfort, words of power, words of hope, words of power, and words of exhortation, just as there are soft grass, grass that gives courage, and grass that cures diseases and gives hope.
The clear stream is Jesus, the water of life that refreshes and refreshes our inner heart.
It is the grace of the Lord that always gives hope to the weary and thirsty sheep.
There are things like foxes that destroy this happy ranch.
Instead of the good shepherd, there is a paid shepherd.
Wearing a shepherd's mask, he quietly enters the ranch and begins to tear it down.
They are not afraid to satisfy their greed, teach false doctrines, blur the church's goals, and break the unity of the church.
Instead of pure sheep, there are goats.
They are entangled in the flocks, and they deceive them into receiving poisonous plants, bitter roots, and false spirits instead of green pastures and clear streams.
