Title: My Lord is the Good Shepherd
Contents
That's right. There is someone who always protects me in deep love. And he is the one who gave his life for me and loved me. The Bible says that our Lord, the Good Shepherd, laid down his life for his sheep. We believe that we are living today, receiving such great love and grace from the Lord.
Today, it was observed as Children's Day. Guys, what is happiness? When does happiness come? Many people mistakenly believe that they become happy when they receive something from others. However, true happiness comes from giving, not receiving. For example, it is not an exaggeration to say that small sacrifices affect the happiness of family and neighbors. Our Lord, who is the “Good Shepherd,” even gave and sacrificed even his own life. We can learn about true happiness from the image of Jesus Christ as the “Good Shepherd.” What sacrifices must we as parents make to give happiness to our children? Can you complain that it's hard? I really hope that through each of us, my beloved children can imitate God's disposition. In the name of the Lord, I bless and bless you that dear young souls can become a wonderful and healthy Southern Kyoto Church that can imitate the Lord who is our “Good Shepherd” and give you eternal and incorruptible happiness. Amen.
