Focus: Life without God is life without hope. It is the life of a sheep without a shepherd to gather, protect, care for, lead toward peace and rest, and toward food. But God sent Jesus, the righteous branch, the good shepherd. Not only did Jesus gather up Jews, but Gentiles too. His sacrifice broke down dividing walls of hostility in the flesh, and the dividing wall of hostility between God and man’s sin. He cared for and cares for us, and gathers us all into One Body, together with each other and with Him. Main Text: Mark 6:30–44 |
