The Parable of the Hired Hand

John 10:12-13 – “The hired hand is not the shepherd who owns the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away…”

Jesus is the Shepherd who stays when the wolves of life come to huff and puff and blow our houses down. Mixing parables a bit, but the point remains: We HAVE a Savior who guards and guides our lives, and fights anything that desires to “steal, kill or destroy”.

What does that mean for us today? And, on a personal level, are there places in our own faith where we treat our own heart, body or mind like the hired hand treated sheep and retreat at the first sign of trouble?

I hope you’ll join us Sunday as we learn the Word together, honor the Word together, and allow it to refine us as we walk the way of Jesus!
