72 - THE HERO WHO COULD NOT BE BOUGHT | The Good Shepherd | *An Easter Special*

In Middle Eastern lands, lands where my wife and I spent part of our lives, we watched humble shepherds, local herders running their sheep near our villa for the grass that grew there in the winter and spring months.   I talked with several. They were strong, but humble men. They had few, if any, resources to fall back on.   God was their protector. And they called upon Him regularly. And their children, and their sheep, were to be preserved at all costs.   Truly, they were good shepherds.   From this cultural backdrop, Jesus ministered to the world.   The love the Savior holds for each of us proven by shouldering the seemingly impossible pain, sacrifice, and the eternal burden of human sin which encompasses the Infinite Atonement, in Gethsemane, on the Cross at Calvary, and three days buried in the Tomb.   As his beloved “lambs,” the Lord knows each of us by name. He carries each one of us in his arms and in his heart, especially those who may feel unworthy, alone, or hopelessly lost.   My friends, please know during this Easter Season that the Good Shepherd lives. He loves us. I testify that he will never, ever, abandon us.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.   **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!   OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   63 - THE YOUNG MOTHER SACRIFICED FOR CHRIST | Vibia Perpetua (Noblewoman & Christian Convert) | Roman Empire 61 - STANDING FIRM WHEN OTHERS BOW TO TYRANNY | "Steven the Great" | Age of Discovery 21 - OUR HERO WHO WAS "PRONE TO WANDER" | Robert Robinson (Pastor/Hymnist) | 1700s   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: [email protected] -Find our video episodes on YouTube   Easter / The Savior / Resurrection / Sacrifice / Christianity / Birth of Christ
