Title: Gracious Pasture/Ezekiel 34:11-31
Content God is our true shepherd. What is more precious to us is that when God, the true Shepherd, is with us,
It is to become a church, that is, a gracious pasture. God has given us a ranch called the 'church'. then
We would like to share the grace with you while pondering the Word of what kind of ranch is a gracious ranch.
First, it is a pasture where the shepherd is with the sheep.
“As a shepherd finds the flock when the sheep are scattered on the day he is among the sheep” (verse 12)
On the other hand, the true shepherd is always among the sheep, and goes to and fro with the sheep. To God, the true shepherd

We are with you as a shepherd who laid down his life for us (John 10:11)
He solved all of Lee's sins and the authority of death and saved us. ③ Be with me as a shepherd who leads us to heaven.
(Revelation 7:17).
Second, it is a ranch that raises sheep.
“I will seek my sheep and rescue them from all their scattered places on a cloudy and dark day” (verse 12b).
Come and deliver me, on a cloudy and dark day. Here, 'a cloudy and dark day' is one of the people of Israel.
It refers to the day when they were destroyed by disobeying God and worshiping idols and became a Babylonian captivity. Today, in this age, Satan
It is a time of darkness that works more and more strongly. But God overcomes the power of darkness and becomes the light of life.
He promises to rescue those who are lost through the new Jesus Christ, and to rescue those who are in darkness and darkness.

Third, it is a ranch that provides good food.
“I will bring them out of all peoples, and gather them from among the nations, and bring them to their own land, on the mountains of Israel and by streams, and
Feed in all the dwellings of the earth, with good pasture.
"(Verses 13, 14) Here, 'good pasture' is the truth of God that leads us to live worthy lives as God's people.
means the words of If our body does not eat, we lose energy and lose all motivation, so our spiritual life also
You cannot win without taking the food of the Spirit. So we have this spiritual power through the Word of God every day.

Fourth, it is a ranch full of peace.
“And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and I will put an end to the evil beasts in the land, and they will dwell in peace in the wilderness,
Sleep in the grass” (verse 25). A world without peace is only strife and war. A place without peace is like the shadow of hell.
All. A person without peace lives in pain as if in an invisible grate, but a person who has peace in his heart '
Thank you for this, thank you for that,' will come out of nowhere. In order for peace to abound, we need to understand each other, embrace each other, and forgive each other.
And we have to cooperate.
Fifth, it is a ranch where the blessed rainy season falls.
“I will bless them, and I will bless all the places around my mountain; I will make the rain fall in its season, and the blessed monsoon.
“(Verse 26) God does not necessarily curse His people. It is His will that it be well.
You have promised us abundant grace and blessings in due time, but we have the least weakness of our faith: God.
Great blessings are often lost through rebellious disobedience.
Dear saints, A pasture with a shepherd among the sheep, a pasture where the sheep are rescued, a pasture with good food, peace
May you become this overflowing ranch, a blessed ranch where rain falls, and all the church members glorifying God in the name of the Lord.
bless you with
