The Lamb Is Our Shepherd
The Lamb who is in the midst of the
throne will shepherd them and lead
them to living fountains of waters.
{Revelation 7:17}
The book of Revelation gives ua a marvelous picture.
The Lamb of God leads us from one fountain of water
to another, always deeper into the love of God {7:17}.
Jesus prayed in the Upper Room shortly before
He went to the cross: "I have declared to {the
disciples} Your name, and will declare it, that
the love with which You loved Me may be in
them, and I in them" {John 17:26}
Jesus leads us into an ever deeper knowledge
of the love of God. His concern is not merely
that we know about God, but that we know
how deeply we're cherished and loved. As
Jesus said, the love the Father has for the
Son He also has for us.
But it's not a process to comprehend that love. It
takes time for God's love to take hold of us. Perhaps
you're not sure that He loves you. Be patient. The
Holy Spirit is at work guiding you into all truth
{John 16:13}. Read and meditate on His words
and deeds in the Gospels. Ask Him to show you
God's love. In time He will reveal its "width and
length and depth and height" {Ephesians 3:18}.
And if I understand it correctly, the process will
go on throughout eternity. We will be completely
satisfied in heaven, and yet we will continue
growing, for there is no end to the love of God!
Our love has limits but God's love
is boundless!
