That Brother

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

1 John 2:9

Reading:

1 John 2:7-17

Light or darkness — where do I live?

Is there any brother I do not love?

Am I protecting any sin of mine?

What is my relationship with Him that is from the beginning?

Do I fight against the wicked one?

Where does God’s Word fit in my life?

What is my relationship with the world and its things?

How strong is my commitment to and zeal for doing the will of God?

“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (1 John 2:17).

[The Scriptures say in 1 John 2:8 -- The darkness is past, and the true light now shineth]
from 1 John 2:8

Known and Knowing

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:14

Reading:

John 10:1-18

“…The sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out” (John 10:3).

“…He goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice” (John 10:4).

“And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him…” (John 10:5).

“…I am the door of the sheep” (John 10:7).

“…He shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).

“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep” (John 10:11).

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine” (John 10:14).

“…I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10:15).

Surely when I follow my Shepherd I am followed by goodness and mercy!
