Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep” ( John 10:11 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. ).    Praise God for sending his Son so that we could be redeemed from our sins, given eternal life, and brought into his presence, where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.    From John Piper’s message “Lord, Teach Us to Fight: The Double Battle in Gethsemane.”
