1-5-08 The Lamb of God Is Your Shepherd Rev. 7:17

Revelation 7:17 (NAS)
for the Lamb in the center of the throne shall be their shepherd, and shall guide them to springs of the water of life; and God shall wipe every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 7:17 (Philips)
for the Lamb who is in the centre of the throne will be their shepherd and will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 7:17 (NLT)
For the Lamb who stands in front of the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to the springs of life-giving water. And God will wipe away all their tears.

Jesus, the Lamb of God who was raised up on the cross, carried away your sins. He was lifted up so that He could draw all men to Himself. He died a violent death so that you could live in peace.
Now He is in the midst of the throne room with Adonai, His Father.

From there, the Great Shepherd tends to His flock. Since you are one of His sheep, you can rest assured that He will provide everything to meet your needs. He cherishes and nourishes you. He is your ruler and governor. Because He is in charge of your life, you know that you are safe. He defends you from your enemies; He heals you when you are wounded. If you should lose your way or become trapped, He is the One who will find and save you.

The Lord leads and guides you; He teaches and instructs you when you are ignorant or inexperienced. He shows you the road you should travel and how you should conduct yourself along the way. He influences how you think and feel, so that you can decide to do the right things. He brings you to springs of living water that give you vitality, making you fresh and strong.

Adonai, the Almighty God, is also the One who wipes away your tears. He blots out, erases, and obliterates anything that causes you sorrow. He separates you from those things, bringing you into a place of joy, contentment, and peace. He has anointed you with His Spirit and you are His.
