🌿 Midweek Encouragement | How Do I Come to the Shepherd? 🌿
We've been talking about staying close to the Shepherd.
But perhaps we need to stop and ask a simple question:
How do I come to the Shepherd?
Jesus gives us the answer in John 14:6:
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
— John 14:6 NIV
Jesus didn't say, “I will show you the way.”
He said, “I am the way.”
We don't come to God through our goodness or because we have everything figured out.
We come through Jesus.
When we don't know which way to go—Jesus is the Way.
When everything feels uncertain—Jesus is the Truth.
When we feel weary, empty or lost—Jesus is the Life.
So today, come to Him and stay close to Him.
If you've wandered, come back.
If you're weary, come closer.
If you're searching, come to Jesus.
The Way is open.
Jesus is waiting.
And if you've never surrendered your life to Jesus, there is no better time than today.
Romans 10:9 says:
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
— Romans 10:9 NIV
Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Believe in your heart. Invite Him into your life and surrender yourself completely to Him.
The Shepherd is calling.
Will you come to Him today? 🤍
