Greetings,
Who is “The Shepherd” of the people, who are not “born from above “ but are members of the “Institutionalize church”?
do they have one?
Bless you ....><>
Yes I would think they would.
(John 10: 11-18).DRB
11I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
12But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,
13And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
14I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.
15As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
17Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
18No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
