Ideas for studying the lesson on "Christ Jesus" for December 24, 2023

Dear Friends,

If you have friends who you think might like to be members, and receive all its benefits, please let them know what you have learned and what you value as a member.

If you have a friend who might be interested, but is not sure, I can send them a free link to a lesson for a couple of weeks and they can try it out. Just let me know.

Handouts for “Christ Jesus”

Sheep always follow their Master’s voice. Watch a short video of that here: video

Some qualities of a good shepherd:

  • A sheep never actually wants or lacks for anything if he is in the Good Shepherd’s care.

  • A shepherd cares for his flock.

  • He labors to find the best grazing, the richest pasture, the cleanest water.

  • He will protect his sheep from enemies and diseases and parasites to which sheep are susceptible.

  • He will give his life for his sheep.

  • He is ready from early dawn until late at night with selfless love; he is constantly alert to the welfare of His flock.

  • He daily examines his sheep and can see instantly if they are content, fed, unmolested, or ill. He takes care of all their needs.

  • He sleeps nearby with ‘one eye and both ears open’ ready to protect his own.

  • For sheep to lie down they must be free from fear, tension, aggravation and hunger and only the shepherd can help them with those things.

  • A sheep must have clean water and the shepherd knows the best places to find the water source. 

  • A shepherd owns his sheep and is not a hireling. A hireling is in it for the wages and will run away when times are tough, but a shepherd cares for his sheep always.
