Sunday Stillness: John 10:16

Sunday Stillness – John 10:16

I heard strange words a while back. I heard, “There are other ways to God.” I know this is untrue and I keep hearing even more Scripture pointing me to the truth.

Today’s Scripture is powerful for me:

I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd (John 10:16, NIV).

I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd (John 10:16, NASB)

Every version that I looked it says: ONE – Shepherd. Yes ONE.

Could that be any clearer?

Christmas is around the corner.

Our Shepherd came as a Babe;
Stayed with us for a short time;
Left us to return to the Father;
Sent the Holy Spirit to live in us;

Thanks be to God.

Prayer:

Father, as we approach Christmas let our eyes focus on You, Jesus. Let our hearts fill with joy at Your coming to earth. Thank You. In Your Name. AMEN.

Christmas.

Be Still today

Blessings,

Janis

I would love it if you would subscribe to my blog. See the sidebar to enter your email address. And Subscribe to my new Newsletter. That would be great.

Read the Sunday Stillness rules if you are new here.

I would appreciate if you would link only about God’s Word. If you have a linky party that’s okay if it is about the same thing. Please no sales or prizes. I want this to be friendly but I must ask you to abide by the rules. Others want to read God’s Word – and that is what I would like the links to be about. I must take down the links that don’t follow the rules. Thanks so much.
