Gedanken zum Vers des Tages
Wenn Jesus sagt, dass er der “Gute Hirte” ist, meint er damit, dass er sein Leben für uns hingeben wird! Das bedeutet für uns all das, was Micha verheißen hat —- Stärke, Majestät, Sicherheit und Frieden.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
As followers of Christ Jesus, God's Messiah, we believe this prophecy speaks of the Lord's coming. So when Jesus proclaimed that he is the ''Good Shepherd," he demonstrated it by laying down his life for us, his sheep! For us, however, Jesus as our "Good Shepherd" means all Micah promised — strength, majesty, security, peace, and much more (John 10:10-18). Our Shepherd, Jesus, means everything to us now and forevermore! We live securely, knowing that our eternal lives are in his hands. We know that when he comes back for us in glory, we will share that glory with him (Colossians 3:1-4). Most of all, Jesus is our assurance of eternal shalom — more than just peace amid life's storms, we can be assured of our well-being amid times of trouble until we share life forever in his glory.
Mein Gebet
Liebender und ewiger Gott, ich danke dir sehr, dass du Jesus sandtest, um mein aufopfernder Hirte zu sein. In dieser verrückt gewordenen Welt werde ich durch seine Stärke erhalten und überwältigt durch seine Majestät, in ihm finde ich meine Sicherheit und meinen Frieden, während ich meiner Zukunft entgegen sehe. Im Namen Jesu danke ich dir. Amen.
My Prayer...
Loving and eternal God, thank you so very much for sending Jesus to be my sacrificial Shepherd. In a world gone crazy, his strength sustains me, his majesty overwhelms me, and in him, I find my security and peace as I face the future. In the name of Jesus, I thank you. Amen.
