“..Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart..”

Jesus our good Shepherd always seeks to save the lost sheep…remember the parable of the lost sheep? The shepherd left the entire herd and went seeking for one lost sheep!

Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost.

This word *save* reminds of the time when you want to #save a file or document for storage and future reference, you simply click the “save as” command displayed on the screen. When you click the *save* command in computer operations, it means that the file to be *saved* is of importance and to be used again.

Jesus came to seek and to *save* …because He has plans for you..

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I think towards you, “says The LORD “plans of peace and not of evil to give you hope and a future.”

The Lord wants you to know about the kind of plans He has for you because “outside of His plans, you are bound to fall

1. into plans “that lack peace” and worse still You might fall

2. into “plans that are evil” and then end up

3. into “plans that have no hope” and definitely You might settle up

4. with “plans that lack a future or plans that have no expected end.”

He beckons you to allow Him to do what He’s good at; seek you and *save* you.

You may wonder why Jesus wants to save you? The truth is BECAUSE GOD’S NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!!! You are worth of His saving because you are the sheep of His pasture.

Jesus The good Shepherd will not throw His hands up in the air and say, “After all it’s only one tiny little sheep that has wandered away!”

Jesus The good Shepherd will come calling because He’s a good Shepherd enough to know that His sheep hear and know His voice.

Trials and Temptations may wear you down to the point of lagging behind in the journey of salvation. Jesus The good Shepherd wants you to hear Him calling you “come to Me all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

He amazingly CARES for his own sheep. Cast your cares upon God, for He CARES for you.

That’s why Jesus wants you to know Him as The One Who SAVES because Jesus Christ Is The good Shepherd!!!
