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 his life lays down for the sheep;
14 'I am the good shepherd, and I know mysheep, and am known by mine,15 according as the Father does know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,16 and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these also it behooves me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock -- one shepherd.
2 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the sheep;3 to this one the doorkeeper does open, and the sheep hear his voice, and his own sheep he does call by name, and does lead them forth;4 and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he goes on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known his voice;
25 for you were as sheep going astray, but you turned back now to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.
4 and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, you shall receive the unfading crown of glory.
O cuidado pastoral de Deus
Como pastor terno e forte, Deus carrega os cordeiros nos braços e guia com cuidado as ovelhas que amamentam.
