There is ONLY ONE SHEPHERD who is able to give human beings ETERNAL LIFE: His name is JESUS, who says: “[I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD]: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
“The THIEF COMETH] not, but for [TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY]: [I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY]” (John 10:10).
“[THEREFORE DOTH MY FATHER LOVE ME, BECAUSE I LAY DOWN
MY LIFE, THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT AGAIN]. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it
down of myself. [I HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN, AND I HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT
AGAIN]. This commandment have I received of my Father” (John 10:17–18).
“[MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE], and I know them, and they
follow me. [AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE]; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me,
is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
I and my Father are one” (John 10:27-30).
“For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth
them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the
Son, even as they honour the Father” (John 5:21-22).
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good
pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). “I am with you alway, [EVEN
UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD]. Amen” (Matthew 28:20).
“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 the 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 for ever” (Psalm 23:1-6).
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of
God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians
13:14).
