NEWNESS "NO MORE TEARS" | 8-YEARS IN CHRIST (VICTOR MARQ)

The Good Shepherd John 1o:1-12 KJV

10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

10:6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

Nothing happens without God's Will, especially to His child whom He loves!

Nothing "bad" happens to a Christian without some spiritual cause! It's always for a good reason, to teach us something or because of our own sins, faults, mistakes, neglects or disobedience!

The Lord is in control! Nothing happens without His permission--or OUR permission! Sometimes we get OURSELVES into trouble through our own carelessness or prayerlessness!

The Lord does everything for a good reason. He says, "ALL things come of God", and "ALL things work together for good to them that love the Lord". (2Cor.5:18; Rom.8:28) He's trying to train, discipline and chasten us to make us better. But chastenings, like Paul confesses in Hebrews 12, are sometimes inclined to discourage us and tempt us to give up instead! But about that time the Lord always comes to our rescue!

"Things don't just happen to children of God,
They're part of a wonderful PLAN!
The troubles, reverses, the sorrows, the rod,
Are strokes of the Great Sculptor's hand!

Things don't just happen to children of God,
The blueprint was made by His hand;
He designed all the details to conform to His Son,
So all things that happen are planned." DM
