Taken from a Billy Graham Evangelistic Association publication "Jesus Revealed", one entry:

TENDER AND LOVING SHEPHERD

Old Testament Prophecy:

"He will feed His fold like a shepherd; He will gather together His lambs--the weak and wobbly ones--into His arms.

He will carry them close to His bosom, and tenderly lead like a shepherd the mother of her lambs."

~ Isaiah 40:11

*

Prophecy fulfilled in Jesus:

"Jesus:  The shepherd walks openly through the entrance. The guard who is posted to protect the sheep opens the gate for the shepherd, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When all the sheep have been gathered, he walks on ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice."

~ John 10:2 - 4

*

Thought:

"Isaiah was inspired by the Spirit of God to explain how the coming Messiah, Jesus, would lead and care for people as a shepherd leads and cares for his sheep."

*

Jesus, on my own I am like a defenseless sheep, and I tend to wander. You are my Protector and Savior. Thank You that You have allowed me to know Your voice. Thank You that You have led me out of exile by Your death on the cross and that You rescued me. Please continue to guide me and protect me.
