The King Is Still Searching. The King Is Still Watching by Robert Kornegay

-- The Shepherd’s Initiative: Jesus does not wait for the lost to find their own way back; He actively pursues them, demonstrating that the value of the individual outweighs the convenience of the majority. -- Service is Devotion: Jesus identifies Himself so closely with the vulnerable, the hungry, and the imprisoned that He declares any service—or neglect—rendered to them is done directly to Him. -- The Verdict of Omission: The tragedy in the King's judgment is not active malice, but indifference. A faith that never produces compassion is not just immature; it is empty and lifeless. -- Our Mandate: If we claim to follow the Good Shepherd, we must adopt His pattern. This requires emotional energy, time, and a willingness to prioritize the struggles of others over our own comfort.
