Isaiah 53:7

 June 1, 2023

Verse of the day - Isaiah 53:7 (NRSV)

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.

Excerpt from third book - Come To The Cross

Jesus said: 

When you know My voice, help others who do not yet know Me to find Me.  A Good Shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.  He will do anything to protect them from harm.  I am the Good Shepherd.  I laid down My life for all My sheep in order that all may be saved through My Blood.  Only by the shedding of My Blood, can anyone be saved. 

We are the sheep that Jesus speaks about. Many of us are lost and do not know how to find our way to Jesus, our Lord and Savior.  When we come to know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are called by God to help lead others back to Him.  Jesus is the Good Shepherd.  He laid down His life for us by dying on the cross for the sins of the world.  It is through the blood thar Jesus shed on the cross for us, that we are saved.  Jesus has told us, if we believe in Him, we shall be saved from final condemnation.
