John 1:29b
Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Think of this:
Jesus is called the Lamb of God.
Jesus is also called the Good Shepherd.
He calls us lambs and sheep.

1 Thessalonians 5:11
King James Version
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
Jer. 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
This is a precious note from a dear man from a former ministry.
One never knows how an encouraging word can make a difference in someone’s life.
“Thank you for your ministry Pastor Ken. It helped me to clarify my relationship with our Lord Jesus. I was saved, but, quite worldly, and wasn’t “sure” I was saved. He helped me to have the confidence in my salvation. Please thank him for that!”
Also, now that we are retired after sixty years in ministry this testimony is a great encouragement to us.
Ps. 100:3
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Colossians 3:12.
New International Reader’s Version
12 You are God’s chosen people. You are holy and dearly loved. So put on tender mercy and kindness as if they were your clothes. Don’t be proud. Be gentle and patient.
“Finally Home”
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
New International Version
15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
His Eye Is On the Sparrow
Written by: Civilla D. Martin
Music by: Charles H. Gabriel
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Refrain
Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing, when hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Agreement and faithful…
1 John 5:14
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.
