The Good Shepherd

January 31, 2007

Here’s a great quote on our faithful Shepherd from Robert Murray M’Cheyne:

“In the countries of the east, brethren, you know that the shepherd goes before the sheep, and they follow him. When he says, “Let us go to the well,” they follow him. When he says, “Let us go down into that dark valley,” they go after him. So it is with Christ. Christ never asked a sheep to go where he never went himself. He has borne all that he calls his sheep to bear.”

God is indeed good to us, in calling us to go nowhere but where He has already walked. The sermon from where this quote is taken can be read here.
