FROM PASTOR MORTENSEN
Jesus Knows His Sheep
God is the Creator of everything in this vast universe. All was created by His Word. He spoke it into being. It is written: (Genesis 1:3) And God said... and it was so. His Word is powerful.
God knows you and He knows all about you. The thought of such vastness can leave us feeling very small.
Following is an example of just how special you are, even though you are a small part of a vast universe.
Do you have any idea how long it would take to count to a billion in $1 coins?
If you were able to count 60 coins each minute without ever taking a break it would take over 31 years to complete the task. Consider then that there are about 6 1/2 billion people living presently on the earth. To name each individually would be an impossible task for us - we'd run out of time. Your name is known to the God who created you. He also knows the place where you live, the time you have lived there and every other intricate detail. This is not because God is some kind of "statistics geek", no, He knows about you because you are of value to Him. He is interested in you and cares for you.
During Jesus' time sheep were very valuable animals. They provided food and wool for clothing. The care and protection of the flock was the shepherd's life. Jesus points out in the Bible that a good shepherd would give his life for his flock. The shepherd would lead his flock to pasture and water, tend to their wounds, guide them, calm them, keep them together and rescue them from pitfalls and briar patches. He was the sole provider of all that the flock needed.
In John 10 we read that Jesus calls His sheep by name. That is us, praise the Lord for His watchful eye and never failing patience and love for us!
