“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus there is just something about that name!”   Jesus has many other Names, seven of which can be found in Psalm 23.

Jehovah Rohi - The Lord is My Shepherd.

Jehovah Jireh - The Lord will Provide - “I shall not want.”

Jehovah Shalom - The Lord send Peace - “He leads me beside still waters.”

Jehovah Rophi - The Lord that Healeth - “He restores my soul.”

Jehovah Tsidkenu - The Lord our Righteousness - “He leads me in paths of righteousness.”

Jehovah Shammah - The Lord is There - “For you are with me.”

Jehovah Nissi - The Lord my banner - “In the presence of my enemies.”

The Lord is!  It is overwhelming to realize that our creator desires us to know Him in such a personal way that He calls Himself Shepherd.  He invites us to consider us His sheep - His object of affection and attention!

 

Jesus left the comforts of heaven and came into your world, your “pasture.”  Jesus sweated like you do.  He walked your path.  He braved your wolves.  He faced your temptations and shared your struggles.  The Holy One.  The anointed One - the Christ.  He conquered the grave!  Jesus not only came to be your Savior and Lord, but Shepherd too!  You have nothing to fear!

 

Is Jesus your Shepherd?  He is calling - can you hear His voice?!  Come to Jesus and truly live!   “And ‘YOU’ He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins…but God, who is rich in mercy…made us alive together with Christ…we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

(cf. Ephesians 2)
