O Senhor é o meu pastor
O Salmo 23 é a expressão máxima da confiança em Deus como Pastor. Jesus se declarou o Bom Pastor que conhece suas ovelhas, cuida delas e dá a própria vida por elas.
O Senhor é o meu Pastor
Davi declarou com confiança que o Senhor é seu pastor e nada lhe faltará. Ele nos guia, nos restaura e nos conduz em caminhos de justiça.
O Bom Pastor
Jesus é o Bom Pastor que conhece suas ovelhas pelo nome. Ele dá a vida por elas, as protege e nenhuma pode ser arrebatada de sua mão.
11 I am the shepherd the good; the shepherd the good the life of himself lays down in behalf of the sheep.
14 I am the shepherd the good; and know the mine, and am known by the mine,15 as knows me the Father, and I know the Father; and the life of me I lay down in behalf of the sheep.16 And other sheep I have, which not is of the fold this; also them me it behooves to lead; and the voice of me they will hear, and there will be one flock, one shepherd.
2 he but entering through the door, a shepherd is of the sheep.3 To him the doorkeeper opens; and the sheep the voice of him hears; and the own sheep he calls by name, and he leads out them.4 And when the own sheep he puts forth, before them he goes; and the sheep him follows, because they know the voice of him.
25 You were for as sheep going astray; but have turned back now to the shepherd and guardian of the lives of you.
4 and having been manifested of the chief shepherd, you will obtain the unfading of the glory crown.
O cuidado pastoral de Deus
Como pastor terno e forte, Deus carrega os cordeiros nos braços e guia com cuidado as ovelhas que amamentam.
