Scripture
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.“1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.”
Isaiah 53:6
“6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way;and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
Ezekiel 34:5,6,1,16
“5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd. 6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them. 11 For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them.. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays.”
John 10:14,15
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.”
1 Peter 2:24,25
24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
