God speaks today Saturday | August 24, 2024

I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. (Ezekiel 34:16)
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (John 10:16)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Full life - Herding the flock (Part 2)

To feed God's people, we must do it with love and not obligation. The shepherd must be an example and a watchman, and show mercy to those who have fallen. Feeding also means instructing for communion, praising God, and helping the flock put on the armor of God. We must leave behind pride and clothe ourselves with humility. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and our love for Him must manifest in pasturing His flock. When He asks us if we love Him, we should say yes and be willing to feed His sheep. Read more...

Hello Patricia Campo! Your concern regarding this part of the biblical text is understandable.

May we reflect on the responsibility that comes with caring for and guiding others with integrity and compassion.
