April 17th - John 10
The True Shepherd
The true shepherd is always an example of courage and faithfulness in the discharge of his duty. He is ready to defend his flock against all foes, counting the care of the sheep of greater consequence than his own life. He knew his sheep by name, leading them to good pastures and quiet waters; he laid down his life for them. His sheep hear and know his voice, and follow him. He keeps them in safety, and no man is able to snatch them from him, for God has given them to him. These things are written concerning him, and they enable us to judge the moral obliquity of his foes, whom he did not hesitate to compare with thieves and robbers and wolves, when he turns from them, and pronounces their doom. "Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat everyone the flesh of another" (Zech. 11:9)
