Magnificent Life

"For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and overseer of your souls." 1 peter 2:25. Following Christ is not a destination but a journey. In the New Testament, believers of the gospel are regarded as sheep due to sheep's representation of the divine nature. However, if not led or direct, the sheep will go astray and may never be found. Previously before the shepherd and bishop of our soul reconciled us to himself, we were living in darkness (Ephesians 5:8). However, after the grace of God found us through Jesus Christ, his son, we were returned to him through many sacrifices paid by our shepherd. Only those who understand the grace of God manifested on the cross will be moved to respond to the one that can lead them to salvation and watch over their souls. Listening to the voice of your shepherd and bishop of your souls will equip you for every good work to do his will. The worship and meditations of your heart would be acceptable in his sight (Hebrews 13:20-21).
