I love the allegory that the Bible uses between Jesus and His disciples. Jesus says that HE, is our shepherd and we are the sheep of His pasture. The Sheep is a very unique pick… that God decided to liken us to the Sheep. The Sheep simply CANNOT do anything on its own. It can’t find…
But, Why????
Jesus was God in flesh. He loved and had compassion on all people. But He also had some people to whom He was close to and loved very dearly. In John 11, the Holy Spirit mentions three people whom Jesus dearly loved. Mary, Martha and their brother Lazarus. (John 11:5). Now Lazarus was beginning to…
