​Jesus  said to them, "Come with me, and I will teach you to catch people." At once they left their nets and went with him.  (Matthew 4:18-22)

It is the joy of Jesus to call ordinary people like us to be shepherds of his flock, for he takes what we can offer and uses it for greatness in his kingdom. Are we willing to make our lives an offering to the Lord and to all humankind?

​"The Lord is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want". (Psalm 23)

In Him indeed there is nothing we shall want because He is the real answer to our longing.  He provides everything. In Him we found peace in chaos, hope in times of despair, healing in affliction, joy in sorrow and His unconditional love. If we put God first in our lives, everything else falls in its right perspective.

​Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end. (John 13:1)

Jesus loved us to the very end. The ultimate sacrifice of giving up his own life for our salvation is a deed that no one else can do except Jesus alone. How can we repay Jesus for what He did for us?
