圣经故事 好心的牧羊人

The Bible says that once when the Lord Jesus was here on earth, He was looking at a crowd of people walking around in the wilderness1. Do you think Jesus saw them as rich and poor, old and young, sick and well, pretty or ugly, smart or dumb？

圣经里说当主耶稣在世上的时候, 有一次, 他看到许多的人在旷野里走, 他并没有把他们分成穷人, 富人, 老人, 年轻人, 生病的, 健康的, 好看的, 难看的, 聪明的, 或者是笨的。

No. The Bible says Jesus had compassion2 on them for He saw them as sheep without a shepherd. They were like lost sheep, lost in their sin. How the Lord Jesus loved them! He knew they were helpless and needed a shepherd. And the Good Shepherd knew He had come to help them. But not just the people way back then. For the Lord Jesus knows all about you, and loves you too, and wants to help you!

圣经里说主耶稣就怜悯他们, 因为他们如同羊没有牧人一般。他们就象迷失的羊, 迷失在他们的罪里。主耶稣好爱他们!他知道他们需要一个牧人来帮助他们。主耶稣这位好牧人知道他来的目的就是要帮助他们。不仅仅是那个时候的人, 主耶稣也认识你, 也一样爱你, 而且也愿意来帮助你。

John 10：11 tells how the Lord Jesus helps us."I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives his life for the sheep." John 10：11. Let's read it together now. We know the good shepherd means Jesus. Let's say his name where it says ？the good shepherd." JESUS is the good shepherd. JESUS gives his life for the sheep. And who are the sheep？Yes! Us! Jesus was really saying, "I will take YOUR punishment for sin. And that means I will die in your place." Even though Jesus proved He was the Good Shepherd by His love for people, still some in that very crowd hated Him.
