XYeek's Sermonett 1
That Great Shepherd
By CHARLES CL WESTON
- (Pastor Evang-ellstle Tabernacle)
. Text: Heb. 13:30. Sheep have need of a shepherd. They are
helpless before so many ills that prey upon them. Mankind also
baa need of a ahepherd, being a prey to many ills which he is
powerless to entirely overcome. V
Man's greatest enemy Is selfishness and greed. From that
tyrant the human race has suffered untold miseries and sorrow.
Another great enemy to man is lust, This deceiver lures his
prey with rosy prospects, and has been able through' bis en
chantments to ensnare both the atrong and the. weak.. Oh, the
heartache, the bitter shame, the fever of remorse caused by this
monster. But,' the most subtle enemy Is pride. He would have
us to cover eur needs and assume an air of self-safllciency and
independence. He is a thief with polished manners. . He would
rob s of our. rightful shepherd,
How. simple, yet how sweet and . appropriate, 'these loving
words. "Oome unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give yon rest. Take my yoke upon yon, and learn of
me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest
to your aouls." God's Son, seat to shepherd us in the way of
life, gives the call, and adds, "Hlnv-that cometh to me I will In
no wise cast out," ' -
, 7- Most everyone wants this kindly Shepherd aa their pathway
draws nigh to the valley of death. Why not follow Him now and
learn to know the depth of His holy fellowship? He who went
to the cross unflinchingly will inspire your heart to play the
man. He will never lead -you in any path that you need be
ashamed of. Walking with Him who overcame, you .will find
strength also to overcome. Following Him whose very spirit Is
. peace you may have real peace. The springs of true nobility
are found in Him. He is God's great gift to us on the first
Christmas day. ,

Christmas has a message
Christ was born a little child In Bethlehem's manger. Through the "-redemption
-wrought by him we may brine oar babes In Holy Baptism to Him that He may regenerate
and renew them; such then we will also seek to "rear In the nurture and admpnltlon of
Lord." " . . '. . " ' : . ..;.,. - -
- Mary In the beautlous bloom of young womanhood was chosen to be the mother of our
Lord and Joseph In the fullness of his manhood to take a father's place to the Son of God
made flesh: truly He today yet Is, worthy that those In the best years of their lives should
bow to Him In faith and. serve Him in love that their lives may be enriched by the one
thins worthwhile.
Simeon was privileged to cradle the wondrous Babe In bis aged arms; thus when death
comes to the hoary-headed believer In Christ of today he too may pass on with the swan
song of Simeon: Lord, now lettest thou thine servant depart In peace 1"
