Reflecting on God’s Word THE GOOD SHEPHERD The difference between the good shepherd and the hired hand is the difference between life and death. Unlike a hired hand who only works for pay and would run away at the first sign of difficulty, Jesus is a good shepherd who willingly lays down his life for his sheep. The good shepherd draws the sheep near to him. They belong to him—not as a possession that can be discarded, but as precious ones who are assured that they can rely on his care and protection. The sheep owe their very lives to the shepherd. Without him, they will be scattered and left on their own in what is often a dangerous world.

BECOMING GOOD SHEEP No sheep with any sense would wander off and leave the fold. The shepherd provides food and safety. Away from the fold, the sheep risks death in the jaws of wolves or starvation in the desert. Jesus is the Good Shepherd and invites us to be good sheep. Jesus has experienced the best and the worst of all that life has in store. He has known the simple joys and the deep disappointments of life; he has known temptation, anxiety, and fatigue. Jesus walks ahead of us, leading the way. We may be tempted to wander away, lured by temporary pleasures and tempted by the illusion of something better over the horizon. In the noise of daily life, surrounded by messages that compete with God and God’s ways, it is easy to become distracted from what is important and lasting. Jesus, our Good Shepherd, invites us to be good sheep who are so close to him that we hear and recognize his voice. As good sheep, we are called to follow the voice of the Shepherd, trusting that he will guide us to the best pasture, where we can thrive. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios EL BUEN PASTOR La diferencia entre el buen pastor y un trabajador es la distinción entre la vida y la muerte. A diferencia del trabajador quien trabaja por un salario y huye a la primera señal de dificultad, Jesús es un buen pastor que da su vida por sus ovejas. El buen pastor atrae a las ovejas hacía él. Ellas le pertenecen, no como una posesión que se puede desechar, sino como una posesión preciosa que tienen la seguridad que pueden contar con su cuidado y protección. Las ovejas deben su vida al pastor. Sin él, se dispersarían y quedarían solas en lo que a menudo es un mundo peligroso.

HACIÉNDOSE BUENAS OVEJAS Ninguna oveja con algo de sentido se alejaría y dejaría el rebaño. El pastor proporciona alimento y seguridad. Lejos del rebaño, las ovejas se arriesgan a morir en las fauces de los lobos o a morir de hambre en el desierto. Jesús es el Buen Pastor y nos invita a ser buenas ovejas. Jesús experimentó lo mejor y lo peor de todo lo que la vida tiene reservado. Él conocía las simples alegrías y las profundas decepciones de la vida; él supo lo que era la tentación, la angustia y el cansancio. Jesús camina delante de nosotros, guiándonos en el camino. Tal vez seamos tentados a alejarnos, atraídos a placeres temporales y tentados por la ilusión de algo mejor en el horizonte. En el ruido de la vida diaria, rodeados por menajes que compiten con Dios y sus caminos, es fácil distraerse de aquello que es importante y duradero. Jesús, nuestro Buen Pastor, nos invita a ser buenas ovejas que están cerca de él para escuchar y reconocer su voz. Como buenas ovejas, estamos llamados a seguir la voz del Pastor, confiando que él nos guiará a mejores pasturas donde podamos prosperar.

DISCÍPULOS INTENCIONALES – ICONOS DE DIOS “Yo soy el buen pastor… y doy mi vida por mis ovejas… y ellas escucharan mi voz.” - JUAN 10:14-16

¿Cuándo usted reza solo le pide a Jesús las cosas que quiere? ¿Alguna vez le ha preguntado lo que Él quiere de usted? ¿Cómo escucha usted Su respuesta? Muchas veces Jesús responde en “tenues susurros” que no son obvios. Así, que tome tiempo cada día, en silencio, para escuchar activamente por su voz.

INTENTIONAL DISCIPLES - ICONS OF GOD “I am the good shepherd...and I lay down my life for the sheep…and they will heed my voice.” - JOHN 10:14-16

When you pray, do you only ask Jesus for the things that you want? Do you ever ask Him what He wants from you? How do you listen for His response? Many times Jesus responds in “quiet whispers” that are not so obvious. So, take time every day, in silence, to actively listen for His voice.
