Our Blessing and our Calling

Wednesday May 10th, John 10: 11"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. Jesus came into the room where the disciples were hiding and breathed on them the Holy Spirit and gave them the commission that as the Father had sent him, so too they were sent. That same commission extends to us all. We are sent into the world to bring the good news, the healing, the wholeness, the reconciliation of our loving God. We are at the same time, shepherded and shepherds. The shepherd is willing to give his or her all for those being shepherded. That is both our blessing and our calling.
