Has anyone beside me asked, “So how am I doing, Lord?” Numbers, dollars, and even Barna surveys are some of the ways that many of us evaluate our success. But what if success is something closer to home, like reaching our families for Christ? What if it is being faithful to teach the Sunday school class or to implement the outreach ministry that God has just called us to head up?
Jesus said:
“I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father.”
