Soul Food (February 5th)

A truth about God

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them... I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered... I will tend them in a good pasture... I will search for the lost and bring back the strays... I will shepherd the flock with justice.”

Ezekiel 34:11-17

The good news of Jesus

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’”

Luke 15:4-6

Following Jesus

“For ‘you were like sheep going astray,’ but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

1 Peter 2:25
