Dumb, Smelly Sheep! - 4th Sunday of Easter

Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for his sheep.” What a wonderful God–to care for dumb, desperate, and sinful creatures like you and me. What I hope you see is the divine absurdity of it all. The Lord of all the universe lay down His life for you and me. He lays aside His regal robes to take up the cross of degradation and death. He lays aside His crown of glory for a painful crown of thorns, and he did it for us. Can you get your mind around such an astounding truth?
