Christ Our Shepherd

                                         1 Peter 2:25
                      "For ye were as sheep going astray, but
                            now returned unto the Shepherd
                                 and Bishop of your souls"

        Christ bore our sins; He bore the punishment of them and satisfied Divine justice.  He took our sins away and gave us a new holy life of righteousness.  Christ was bruised and crucified as a sacrifice for our, sins and by His stripes the diseases of our souls are cured.  But as sheep man still goes astray from the pasture, from the Shepherd, and from the flock,and at the same time exposes himself to dangers in ways he cannot count.
        If one of Christ sheep (mankind) is astray, He will find them, and return them to be in union with the Father, by Divine grace.  This return is from all their errors and wanderings.  My friends, To Christ, before one's true conversion, they are always going astray, and their life is a continued error.  I pray that all who claim the name of Jesus Christ are true followers, and not just sheep in wolf's clothing, coming in and out of your church congregation.  Always be watchful and be prepared to fight the evils of this world with the Armor of God.
        Amen!!
