SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

Scripture: Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Observation: The Lamb will be their shepherd! Jesus is the only One who could be both the Lamb and the Shepherd. Jesus had been introduced by John the Baptist as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. (John 1) Jesus claimed to be the Good Shepherd who gives his life for his sheep. (John 10)

Application: As the Lamb, he was sacrificed for my sins. Even into eternity I will remember and honor Him for what he did for me. Now in this life, He is my Shepherd. And into eternity He will continue to be my Good Shepherd.

Prayer: Lord, now and for all eternity I will praise you for being the Sacrificial Lamb who died to pay for my sins. Now and for all eternity I will follow you as my Shepherd. Amen.

September 2: Ezekiel 17-19; Revelation 7
