So, we Your
people & the sheep of
Your pasture,
will give thanks
to You forever;
to all generations
we will tell
of Your praise.
Psalms 79: 13
For thus says
the Lord GOD,
Behold, I Myself
will search for
My sheep and
seek them out.
As a shepherd
cares for his herd
in the day when
he is among
his scattered
sheep,
so I will care
for My sheep
and will deliver
them
from all the
places to which
they were scattered
on a cloudy
and gloomy day.
I will bring
them out from the peoples
and gather them
from the countries
and bring them
to their own land;
and I will feed
them
on the mountains
of Israel,
by the streams,
& in all
the inhabited places of the land.
I will feed
them in a good pasture,
and their grazing
ground
will be on the
mountain heights of Israel.
There they will
lie down
on good grazing
ground
and feed in
rich pasture on
the mountains
of Israel.
I will feed
My flock
and I will lead
them to rest,
declares the
Lord GOD.
I will seek
the lost,
bring back the
scattered,
bind up the
broken
and strengthen
the sick;
Then they will
know that I,
the LORD their
God,
am with them,
and that they,
the house of Israel,
are My people,
declares the Lord GOD.
As for you,
My sheep,
the sheep of
My pasture,
you are men,
and I am your
God,
declares the
Lord GOD.
Ezekiel
34: 11-16,30,31
|
The Lord is
my shepherd;
I shall not
want.
he maketh me
to lie down
in green pastures,
He leadeth me
beside the still waters,
He restoreth
my soul.
He leadeth me
in paths of righteousness
for His name's
sake.
Yea, though
I walk
through the
valley
of the shadow
of death,
I will fear
no evil, for Thou art with me.
Thy rod, and
Thy staff,
they comfort
me.
Thou preparest
a table before me
in the presence
of mine enemies.
Thou anointest
my head with oil,
my cup runneth
over.
Surely goodness
and mercy
shall follow
me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell
in the house
of the Lord
forever.
Psalm
23
Come, let us
worship and bow down,
let us kneel
before
the LORD our
Maker.
For He is our
God,
and we are the
people of His pasture
and the sheep
of His hand.
Psalms 95: 6,7
What do you
think?
If any man has
a hundred sheep,
and one of them
has gone astray,
does he not
leave
the ninety-nine
on the mountains
and go and search
for
the one that
is straying?
If it turns
out that he finds it,
truly I say
to you,
he rejoices
over it more
than over the
ninety-nine
which have not
gone astray.
So it is not
the will of your Father
who is in heaven
that one of
these little ones perish.
Matthew 18:
12-14
|
Know that
the LORD Himself is God;
it is He who
has made us,
and not we ourselves;
we are His people
and the sheep
of His pasture.
Psalms 100:
3
Truly, truly,
I say to you,
he who does
not enter by the door
into the fold
of the sheep,
but climbs up
some other way,
he is a thief
and a robber.
But he who enters
by the door
is a shepherd
of the sheep.
To him the doorkeeper
opens,
and the sheep
hear His voice,
and He calls
His own sheep by name
and leads them
out.
When He puts
forth all His own,
He goes ahead
of them,
and the sheep
follow Him
because they
know His voice.
I am the good
shepherd;
the good shepherd
lays down His
life for the sheep.
He who is a
hired hand,
and not a shepherd,
who is not the
owner of the sheep,
sees the wolf
coming,
and leaves the
sheep and flees,
and the wolf
snatches them
and scatters
them.
He flees because
he is a hired hand
and is not concerned
about the sheep.
I am the good
shepherd,
and I know My
own
and My own know
Me,
even as the
Father knows Me
and I know the
Father;
and I lay down
My life for the sheep.
John
10: 1-4, 11-15
He shall feed
His flock
like a shepherd;
He shall gather
the lambs in His
arms, &
carry them in His bosom,
and shall gently
lead those
that are with
young.
Isaiah 40: 11
