Christ is Risen
Holy Week
The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (John 10:11)
How precious are the words from the 23rd Psalm, The Lord is my shepherd The psalm
contains wonderful promises of protection and help, even in the valley of the shadow of
death In John s Gospel, Jesus tells us that he is the Good Shepherd and that he protects us
from sin and evil even by laying own his life. No wonder that the cross is the universal
symbol of the Christian faith. From the death of Jesus comes forgiveness of our sins, peace
with God and hope for the future. Amazing grace.
Question
for thought: Am I simply trusting Jesus to take away my sins?
