"Just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.: -John 10:15
The image is one that sticks with me.
I am so easily distracted and caught up in my own little world. How often to I miss the very real dangers and threats? He doesn't miss them. Sometimes, the rescue happens before I even know I am in trouble.
Jesus knew what was ahead of him. He knew it would not be easy. Still, He submitted to the will of the Father. "Not thy will but thine be done." A pure example of practicing what He preached.
He lay down his life for "the sheep"... like you and me.
Today, I am grateful for protection.
