The Purpose

The purpose of this blog is to encourage the family of Four Mile Church to eat God's word on a more regular basis; to be nourished and fortified. Mile markers help you to know how far you have come and how much further you have to go. God's word is like a mile marker. My prayer is that this simple blogg helps you to partake in God's word and prayer on a more regular basis.



Please share your insights and revelations if you think they may encourage another brother or sister in Christ.

Who Is Jesus - Friday, April 23rd

John 10:11-13

11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

Questions

1. How do we know that Jesus is the good shepherd?

2. What is the difference between a shepherd and a hired hand?

3. A hired hand prays that the wolf will never come, but it does. What does the wolf do?

4. What images of love do you see in this passage?

5. How does this passage teach us to love?


Pray

Thank God that he doesn't leave us when the hard things come our way. Thanks God for laying down his life for us. Ask God to help us to love others like he loves us.
