The Good Shepherd / John 10:11-18
good shepherd of power
Our Lord Jesus Christ often introduced himself by saying, “I am . . .”, today verse 11
The Word said, "I am the good shepherd." The Greek word for "good" is morally and morally good.
Da means "Agados" and it means "Kalos", which means beautiful with power. to the Lord
The book was written in the latter sense.
Among people, there are good and good people, but there are people who are very incompetent, and there are people who are very talented and cool.
There is this. Although the Lord said, "It is like a tender shoot, like a stem from dry ground, it has no fine appearance.
You look incompetent, but you are pierced, bruised, disciplined, and whipped for our sake.
He is the Lord of power who forgave our sins and healed our diseases (Isaiah 53:2-5).
All of us who believe in the Lord of this power should not remain as good and deceived Christians but be filled with the Holy Spirit and receive the power of the Holy Spirit.
I hope that you will stand in the ranks of those shining ancestors who went to the ends of the earth.
What kind of power is the Lord the Good Shepherd?
sacrifice of life
The first is the Good Shepherd who “lays down his life for the sheep” (verse 11).
The paid shepherd runs away when the wolf comes, but the good shepherd fights and protects it with his life. shepherd's time
David said, "If a lion or a bear comes and robs the flock, I will follow and strike it,
I rescued the cub and when it got up and tried to harm me, I grabbed its beard and struck it to death.
"Everyone" and with that momentum, he defeated Goliath, who "disrespected the army of the living God" (1 Samuel).
17:34-36) He risked his life for loving the sheep and loving the people.
Our Lord, the Good Shepherd, like David, who foreshadows the appearance of the Lord Jesus, said,
He was crucified to give it as a ransom for man” (Matthew 20:28). Therefore the cross was sacrificed for the sheep.
It is the culmination of the love that gave his life for us.
Those of us who believe in this Lord also live in a spirit of responsible sacrifice for our sheep and for others.

The second is the Good Shepherd who “knows the sheep” (verse 14).
The shepherd knows the sheep well. Which sheep are slow or fast, which sheep have long or short legs?
And he knows all too well what sheep have good and bad temperament.
Our Lord knows all too well the circumstances of our sheep as the Good Shepherd. from heaven to earth
He humbled himself and got to know us very well as he associates with lowly and lowly Galileans. human
He was aware of the disease of God, and he knew too well that we could not live like a human without solving this problem of sin.
You threw yourself on the cross. He shed His blood to forgive those sins.
Just like the Lord who knows our circumstances well, we, the sheep, must also know the Lord the Good Shepherd.

“No one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:11).
Therefore, I pray that you will be filled with the Holy Spirit and become the saints who know the Lord best by the grace of the Holy Spirit to enlighten you.

In addition to knowing the Lord well, we must also know our neighbors well.

And we need to know our brothers and sisters who believe.
Often, we just need to worship. What kind of Goddess and male gods need activities, and what kind of regional activities are needed?
I don't know, but just as students in school have to learn in the classroom and roll around on the playground, Saints

You have to be active. Such an active relationship does not involve interpersonal relationships in a greenhouse.
It is a very biblical attitude to do in the field.
When dating with such an active attitude, you get to know the other person not only with your head but also with your heart.
You get to know people well.
This Chuseok, I brought fermented soybean paste to my hometown mother and father Sansan.
I said to my mother in the grave, "Mother, I'm here to get that miso." "Yes, you got it from your sister-in-law
go. You still can't live without my miso." Really, I'm still very young.
I eat it every day to the point that I can't live without my mother's miso, which I used to eat.
My mother's doenjang is traditional Andong doenjang, which has a golden color and is made of yellow beans and beans.
It is a field of character that has been preserved. Drop a drop of sesame oil on fortress yeolmu or sagebrush to make this miso paste.
It is a honey taste among honey tastes when rubbed against it. I live a healthy life with this honey miso.
But I always think like this. If the Department of Food and Nutrition at the University made my mother's miso

You think my mother's miso is not. My mother never studied that miso with her head.

Third, our Lord is the Good Shepherd who will lead the “other sheep that are not of the fold” (v. 16).

He does not think only of his own sheep that are already in the fold, but also of the other sheep that are outside the fold.
God is the word.
He is not the Lord of narrow nationalism who only thinks of Israel, but He always wants to embrace and save Gentiles as well.
These are the words that open the wide and big heart of the Lord.
So the Lord said in the city of Samaria, which the Israelites at that time hated and considered the most defiled.
He went into evangelism and embraced the people.
The last words at the time of the resurrection and ascension also dream of being witnesses "in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth"
(Acts 1:8) He said.
In fact, the book of Acts after the Gospels tells how the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ was brought from Jerusalem.
It is an interesting record of whether the devil has penetrated into a foreign world to the ends of the earth.
Therefore, today, too, we are trying to settle within the frame of narrow regionalism, narrow sectarianism, or narrow nationalism.
We must turn away from all temptations and lead a life of faith. From this standpoint, South Korea is the most trustworthy
These are people who live with a desire to embrace their brethren and their North Korean counterparts.

The real meaning is that a man wants to hold a woman with one hand and a globe with the other.
It shows that you have ambitions instinctively. God created men by this nature
because you made it.
So, unaware of the original nature of men, women tell their husbands, "A family-type man who is faithful to his family
It is unreasonable to ask only for “parts.” Especially, if the members of the church keep asking for this, God will be three.
We are not indifferent to everything including politics, economy, society, culture and education entrusted to us to maintain the status quo.
It can also mean We should never give up the world to the atheists and the devil behind them.
