Topic: PROVISIONS FROM THE LORD’S TABLE
Memory Verse: John 10:14 – I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. John 10:14
Bible Reading: John 21:3-14
Message: The declaration of our Lord Jesus Christ in today’s memory verse calls for deep reflection. In John 10:14 Jesus openly announced, “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”. Jesus confidently declared Himself a good shepherd based on the three major assignments of a shepherd which are provision, protection, and direction. The Lord proved Himself as Jehovah Jireh – the Great Provider by bringing money out of the mouth of a fish in Matthew 17:27. He quenched the thirst of His people by bringing water out of the rock in Exodus 17:6 and provided Manna to feed the people in Exodus 16:15.
God has also proven Himself as Jehovah Nissi – the banner of protection over His people. We have examples of miraculous deliverances from powerful enemies in the Bible. Paul and Silas were singing praises to God. then the Lord rose on their behalf to deliver them from bondage (Acts 16:25-26). Jehoshaphat appointed singers to praise the beauty of God’s holiness and the Lord destroyed their enemies (2 Chronicles 20:21-23). Also, God has proven Himself to be All-knowing. The book of Daniel 2:22 says, “He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in the darkness, And the light dwelleth with him”.
It is a settled matter that Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd. The fact that He knows all His sheep is confirmed in Acts 15:18 that says, “Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world”. God knows each of His children by name, He knows how many strands of hair are on their heads, He has the details of their vital statistics, He is fully aware of their family tree from the beginning of creation.
One important attribute of the Lord Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd is that He feeds His sheep. He fed over 5,000 men (not counting women and children) with just two fishes and five barley loaves of bread. He caused the food to multiply so much that even after feeding the multitude, there were twelve baskets of fragments left over (Matthew 14:14-21). Jehovah Jireh can fill you to overflowing. He can meet and even surpass all your needs and expectations (Philippians 4:19).
The Lord is inviting you to dine with Him today. Will you accept the invitation?

Title: Deeper, Deeper in the Love of Jesus.
Chorus: O deeper yet I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed, Lord,
In Thy precious, holy word..
1. Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus
Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
2. Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,
Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus
And His perfect will.
3. Deeper, deeper! tho' it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow.
4. Deeper, higher ev'ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqueror, and in His own image
Perfected at last.
