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 good shepherd. The good shepherd lays downhis life for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay downmy life for the sheep.16 I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must lead these also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock and one shepherd.
2 The one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.3 It is to him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and it is his voice the sheep hear. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.4 When he has driven out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
25 For you were like sheep that kept going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
4 Then, when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the victor's crown of glory that will never fade away.
O cuidado pastoral de Deus
Como pastor terno e forte, Deus carrega os cordeiros nos braços e guia com cuidado as ovelhas que amamentam.
