Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd, the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. John 10:11

I AMThe Good Shepherd

This is a good shepherd.A good shepherd loves his sheep.

He gives them food, water and shelter. He cares for them and keeps them safe.

The good shepherd is even willing to die for his sheep.

The Lord Jesus Christ is your Good Shepherd.You are His sheep.

He gives you food, water, love and shelter.He cares for all your needs.

The Lord Jesus Christ loves you so much that Hewas willing to die on the cross for your sins.

If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you belong to Him forever! Isn’t it wonderful to be one of Jesus’ special sheep?!

Why did Jesus die for you?

A good shepherd has some sheep that follow Him wherever He leads them. And some sheep that don’t.

The Lord Jesus Christ wants you to follow Him to Heaven.

But you are a sinner. Your sin keeps you from entering into Heaven.

God loves you so much that He made a way for your sins to

be forgiven. (Rom 3:23, 6:23) The way God made is Jesus Christ.

God sent His very own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to this world

to die on the cross for your sins. (Rom 5:8)

After Jesus died He rose from the dead and went to Heaven to live with His Heavenly Father. He wants you to follow Him to Heaven. The Bible says if you believe in Jesus Christ your

sins are forgiven and you are ready to follow Jesus into Heaven when you die.

Do you want to follow your Good Shepherd Jesus into

Heaven?

Then pray right not and tell Him that you believe in Him as your Lord and Saviour.

Remember, it’s a wonderful thing to be one of

Jesus’ special sheep!

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christand you will be saved. Acts 16:31

He was born for us

He lived for us

He died for us

. . . so we may have everlasting life with Him.

Have you accepted thefree gift of salvation?

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
