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 gives his life for his sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd. And I know my own, and am known by them,15 (even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father;) and I give my life for the sheep.16 I have other sheep, besides, which are not of this fold. Them I must also bring; and they will obey my voice; and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.
2 The shepherd always enters by the gate.3 To him, the porter opens, and the sheep obey his voice. His own sheep he calls by name, and leads out.4 And having put out his sheep, he walks before them, and they follow him; because they know his voice.
25 For you were as sheep going astray, but are now returned to the Shepherd, and Overseer of your souls.
4 and when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, you shall receive the crown of glory which fades not 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.
