| Jesus never lost a 'Sheep' If you receive Jesus as your shepherd through prayer, then you are one of his Sheep …straight forward and simple. And Jesus, as the good shepherd (John 10: 11) has never lost one sheep, for even though the 99 may be in the sheepfold, He will find any that have strayed or been hurt and bring them back in. For He said…. John 10:27-29 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them Eternal Life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (So can any man including yourself take you out of the Lord’s hand……..NO. Why because….) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. (No one can separate us from our God, no is stronger than Him.) For as Paul said…… Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Why because the Lord’s disciples believed the promises of the Lord when He said…….. John 6: 37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.And this is the record, that God hath given to us Eternal Life, and this life is in his Son. (In no wise means just that for no reason will the Lord cast you out, for once saved always saved, and you aren’t expected to be perfect just to follow your Lord humbly and do your best. You can’t be too bad for the Lord, only too good. So just keep following Him for in no wise shall He cast you out or forsake you. How do you know because Jesus said so and he has always kept his WORD. It is His promise. Because He said…..) Hebrews 13: 5 Be content with such things as ye have: for he (Jesus) hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Say it, then read it again and again …… til you absolutely know Jesus promised never to leave you no matter what. He will stay with you and continue to love you. You are His and He will not forsake you.) Hebrews 13: 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (With the Lord’s Faith, you don’t need to Fear, so quit worrying) Philippians 1: 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: As long as we are…. Hebrews 12: 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Therefore. We should be Phillippians 3: 13, 14 Forgetting those things which are behind, (You have Salvation, so now go share it with others and forget about being holy and just love the Lord and others) reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the Prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Why, because …… Isaiah 45: 17 (You and I and all of us) shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting SALVATION: (we) shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end. Jesus loves you and will always love you. So go out, forget about yourself and obey Him by loving others and telling them about His Love for the sheep, for he has never lost one of his Sheep.
