As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Good News in the Sheep Pen

John 10:1-10 informs us that even though thieves and robbers may sneak into our churches, but there is also good news in the sheep pen. We don’t need to be concerned because if we follow the Good Shepherd we will learn to know his voice. It may be the soft words of one who does good works, letting their light shine. It may be in the words of Jesus preached in a sermon. It may be in the words of encouragement given by a spiritual mother or father in the congregation. Jesus leads us into a worship service each week and he leads us back out into the world to where we will be blessed with lush pastures. The good news is that the Great Shepherd has come that we may have life now, more than what is expected.
