Called

Wednesday May 6th, 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. Beginning in our home community, to the neighboring community, to the unclean and unfriendly community and on to the ends of the earth, we are sent. 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, sheep and shepherds. The shepherd is willing to give his or her all for those being shepherded. That is both our blessing and our calling.
