Good Shepherd Sunday
1 Peter 2:19-25
It is a simple theme after Easter to fall
into the "lead and follow" of New Life.
But, Peter reminds us that it is a more complicated process
than we would like to live out daily.
He shares the vision of Jesus as example, healer and restorer.
For "we, like sheep, have gone astray."
Jesus is the one who has turned us back to the shepherd
and guardian of our souls.
We do this "turn" in the midst
of cultural callings and beckoning.
We seek to be winsome with the aroma of Christ
in a world that judges quickly and pushes back.
Hard line and hard nose get us no where,
except perhaps out the door.
The image of Jesus leading and within my own vision
helps me to stay on track
and not be swept to the side of distraction.
Lord, keep my sightline clear. Amen.
