Christ’s Shepherding Care

Scripture:
“He shall feed His flock like a shepherd.” — Isaiah 40:11

Reflection (John Cotton):
Cotton’s pastoral writings overflow with a vision of Christ as a gentle, tender Shepherd who carries the weak and binds up the wounded.

Personal Reflection:
I sometimes imagine Jesus disappointed or impatient with me. Cotton helps me see Christ as He truly is—gentle, compassionate, and mindful of my frailty.

Prayer:
Good Shepherd, carry me in Your arms today. Guide me with Your loving care.

Challenge:
Show Christlike gentleness to someone who is weak, discouraged, or struggling.
