Devotional thoughts for Wednesday

Wednesday 25. March 2015 
Judica
31. Day of Lent 

"I AM the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep." (John 10,11) 


Our Good Shepherd Window is above our altar. Jesus seeks for the lost and brings them home. He chases away predators who would devour His people. 

Lent began with Jesus overcoming the devil's temptation. Lent is leading us to Calvary and the cross where Jesus laid down His very life in order to redeem us back to God the Father. 

He is our Good Shepherd who cares for us and leads us home. No other religion or philosophy teaches redemption through a God suffering and dying for humanity. Christianity does, for it points us to Jesus who is the world's Savior. 

Prayer: O God, through the humiliation of Your Son You raised up the fallen world. Grant to Your faithful people, rescued from the peril of everlasting death, perpetual gladness and eternal joys.  Amen.
