It's so right because it says, "Jesus loves me. This I know." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/open-it-before-you-get-there-6637 2012-06-19T09:39:47-05:00 When you're in Christ's care and you're headed toward what seems to be a closed door, remember your Lord's going to be there first making sure that the door is open before you get there. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-first-church-of-yeah-but-6477 2011-11-10T10:47:46-05:00 God's Word on any subject is the final word. You'll know that eventually, after your "yeah, but" leads to heartache, disappointment, and shame. Face the truth now. Don't deceive yourself by twisting God's Word to fit what you want. Change your situation to fit God's Word. You don't pull the island of God's Word to the boat of your ideas. You pull the boat to the island. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-snow-plow-you-re-following-6383 2011-07-05T10:55:31-05:00 The Lord will never lead you anywhere that He has not first scouted and prepared for you. The snow plow clears the road ahead of you, and so does the Shepherd. And because He does, you'll never end up stuck. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/i-know-that-voice-6280 2011-03-11T16:27:12-05:00 You begin your day by getting used to His voice before you hear any others. Then, when you're getting six voices at once, you'll know your Shepherd's direction from all the rest. You'll sense the call - the tug of Jesus that you heard just this morning, and that you've heard so often. And you'll say, "I know that voice." http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2010:1-6&version=NIV 2009-09-27T20:30:17-05:00 Just as a flock of sheep recognizes the voice of their shepherd, so Christians will come to instantly recognize the voice and leading of Jesus Christ, their spiritual shepherd. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2010:14-16&version=NIV 2009-09-18T11:27:19-05:00 Jesus compares himself to a shepherd, leading his flock of sheep and bringing lost souls safely into the fold. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2010:16&version=NIV 2009-09-10T16:04:57-05:00 Jesus states one day there will be one flock and one shepherd. He's saying in the future he will bring all of his sheep from various separate flocks to him and have one flock encompassing all of his followers. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025:32&version=NIV 2009-08-19T11:31:24-05:00 In Matthew, we read that Jesus said at the end of this age all of the nations will be judged. They will be separated like a shepherd separates sheep and goats based on their deeds.
