John 10
NIV
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.KJV
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.Meditation on Scripture:
In the previous verses Jesus called himself the sheep gate. shortly after he calls himself the good shepherd. These back to back references highlight something interesting. They demonstrate God’s ability to keep us spiritually safe as well as his desire to be with us as we grow.
The gate of the sheep is where those sheep come in and out. The threatening world is held back by the safety of the wall and the gate is what allows the sheep to find that safety but also to go out to be fed and experience the growth the sheep need.The shepherd, on the other hand, goes with the sheep. He watches over them and chases away predators. The shepherd would face risk for the sheep. He would guide them to good food and water. He would help them if they got stuck and lead them back if they got lost. Jesus declares himself The Good Shepherd defends the sheep. A normal shepherd may risk his life for the sheep Jesus as the Good Shepherd would guarantee his own death and yet that is not the end of the metaphor. Jesus, as The Good Shepherd, stays with us as we feed. He goes to where we need to go to grow, then as the gate Jesus allows us to go in and come out from protection. As the good shepherd he is with us as we face the peril of the world. Jesus is both our path to safety as well as growth. He came not just to give us life, but to give it more abundantly. Fortunately and unfortunately that doesn't look like the life we would make for ourselves many times. Trust in God to not only give you life, but to give it more abundantly.
Meditation of Prayer:

NIV
5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them. 7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. -

“Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.Meditation on Scripture:
You, spending these moments with the Lord, are responding to his voice. Of the many ways we respond to his voice through academic study, prayer, meditation, service, and a thousand other ways, we live out this scripture. We respond to His voice as His sheep. Jesus shows us the way by which we can walk. He shows us how to follow His word. His spirit lifts, inspires, and transforms us. Jesus declares himself to be our shepard and we respond to His voice, as his sheep.
He goes ahead of us and we follow. We go in and out. He knows each one of us and what we need. He knows His sheep. He knows you. He calls you by name. Jesus has taken the right to break whatever boundaries prevent you from progress toward Him and His love. Let whatever hardship you have in life, whatevers stressors have their perfect work in your to draw you to the arms of the loving shepherd. There is no place we can run where he cannot find us and will not pursue, eventually to catch us in loving arms and hold us in a warm embrace. Regardless of what lost wilderness you roam in, know the love of your shepard never fail.s In moments like this when we focus on His love and presence we can hear that voice in our lives, and we can see that lived out in us, His sheep. Additionally in these moments we can discern God’s will for us in other moments of our lives.
What is God calling us to? How does God’s unwavering love lift you to greater heights? What is God calling you to? How will this moment of peace and love with God pour out into the rest of your life? Ponder that for a moment now.

Romans 15NIV
17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God.

17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Holy Spirit, so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyr′icum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ,
Meditation on Scripture:
Recently I was given the role of providing a Eulgoy by a third party for someone I did not know. Through various reasons it became increasingly impossible for me to make much meaningful contact with anyone who knew him but those people would be at the service and it would be streamed to potentially hundreds of others who would watch the event streamed. Because of how important I knew this person to be in their community this filled me with anxiety. Additionally I was the MC for the event which was an incredibly formal process with an exacting prewritten script. I had a very basic understanding of this man but not the depth that I felt that would result in the quality of Eulogy that they deserved yet there was no other option of who could do it. When I have done this important speaking role previously I usually have access to family and friends who know the person, to make it personal and have it land. I was worried and I lost some sleep over this despite my efforts. I prayed to God for him to fill my mouth with the words that needed to be spoken. When I did, I received a calming assurance and felt the words of God in my mind that he would in fact answer that prayer and fill my mouth yet as I wrote the words over and over and worked at it for days at a time I kept feeling as though it was not personal enough. I trusted in God and the answer he had given me. Yesterday when I gave that Eulogy it finally had the emotional and spiritual resonance that this person deserved. Afterward I was given a lot of praise and people commented about how well it went and I got many heartfelt hugs and handshakes of gratitude. In this moment my heart was full of gratitude for God. Instead of pride I felt humility that God had rescued me from what could have been an incredibly embarrassing and disappointing experience for me and the man’s family. I really felt the words of this scripture in my heart. I rejoice only in those things that Jesus Christ does through me. Certainly in your life, God has worked important things through you. This is far from boasting or prideful. God is mighty and does things that are mighty but if we dont pay attention then we miss them altogtether. Perhaps in this meditaiton you can ponder what mightly things Christ has done through you. As we reflect on what God has done through us our gratitude for those things will grow and can help us feel the love of God

NIV
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. -

14 I myself am convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. 15 But I have written to you rather boldly in some respects to remind you, because of the grace given me by God 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the holy Spirit.Meditation on Scripture:
This scripture contains a beautiful, sweet and succinct reflection on goodness. You are full of goodness. There is something about you that made God be willing to save you from death and sin. At times we struggle with understanding that, with understanding the good we are capable of with the grace of God. dont doubt the ability of God to do amazing wonders in you and through you, as you are sanctified and transformed through God’s love.
You do not need to wonder or worry. God has seen your heart and will help you improve and change it your whole life long. He gives us the path and the way back to the father. When you ponder the areas of your life you need to correct as you readin scripture, recognize this, all those words are an invitation by God to remind you of the goodness God offers through His commands. As Jesus declared he is the way the truth and the life. You are full of goodness. Put aside any desperate search you have for trying to prove to others you are enough. God’s love clearly demonstrates that.
With that knowledge be encouraged and lifted up to shed those things that you know to be in opposition to God’s will for you. In joy turn from those things back to the love of God and embrace the goodness he has and can clear out in your heart.

“Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him.”
12 Again Isaiah says,
“There shall come the root of Jesse,
And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles,
In Him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.Meditation on Scripture:
Hope is such a valuable and beautiful thing that Jesus brings us. Sometimes it feels as though when we speak of hope that it is that we can have just enough hope to scrape by. As though we are about to fall apart and drop into despair and we scrape the bottom of the barrel to get just enough hope to survive. Instead the hope that Christ offers is not some leftover remnant but a fountain, a spring that flows up in us, through Christ. It can overflow hope within us by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Ponder what role hope plays in your life. How much do you allow yourself to hope for? What things do you most strongly hope for. What would you consider as the most important thing to hope in? The hope that God offers is not necessarily the same thing we prioritize. The hope of God is not always the things we would hope for, it is far more important. THe hope of God is an eternal hope. When the struggle of this life has passed far into the rear view mirror, all those things will seem distant in comparison. At that time, we will consider our spiritual and eternal future as a child of God to be far more important. I remember attending a highly desired sporting event a number of years ago. The moment the event was over, tickets could be found on the ground thrown away. They had no value. Our current desires will seem far less important in thousands of years from now, but the things God prioritizes will remain of equal or perhaps even greater importance.
The best part of this is that, in these eternal matters, the Holy Spirit can fill us with an overflowing hope in God’s power. Ponder now for a moment the things that you hope in?

8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:

I will sing the praises of your name.”

10 Again, it says,

8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant and a minister to the circumcision (Jews) on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm and verify the promises made to the fathers, 9 and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy [to them, since God had no covenant with them]. As it is written and forever remains written,
“Therefore I praise You among the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.”
10 Again it says,
“Rejoice and celebrate, O Gentiles, along with His people.”Meditation on Scripture:
For people who have listened many times about God’s chosen people we can get desensitized to how miraculous this is. If we are not careful we can get very comfortable with this idea such that it seems obvious. As though God had no other choice then to choose us.
Equally spiritually dangerous is to feel like we somehow pulled a fast one on God and we snuck into the sheepfold some other way than through the door.
With both these thoughts it is important for us to ponder and focus on the idea that God had no obligation to help us out of our fallen state other than the covenant He made for us, and to be clear, unless we are literally Jewish, we were not historically Gods chosen people. God decided to offer that to each of us based on His love. May we glorify Gods mercy.

KJV
1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.NABRE
1 We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves; 2 let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up. 3 For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you fall upon me.” 4 For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.Meditation on Scripture:
Many years ago as an impetuous young man I had some amazing advice given to me. “Be forgiving of those things that are weaknesses in others and just enjoy. Enjoy others. Enjoy life with others. In our modern world this message becomes confused and conflicted. When thinking of serving others we need not think about degrading ourselves. Think instead of unity in Christ. God was not lessened through Jesus Christ. The Grandeur of God was not destroyed on the Cross but it was demonstrated. Our goal is to submit to that same grandeur. To be swallowed up from our weakness to God’s strength.
Through Christ and through God’s word, we can embrace a hopeful mindset. Embrace hope. Hope about an eternal future with God, but also an improved life here on earth in the form of unity with God. embrace the love of God and just enjoy. With God nothing is impossible. let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up. May we through patience and endurance rejoice in the victory of God over the sins of all those who trust in Jesus and truly turn to him for forgiveness and redemption.
