The Shepherd of the Shepherd's Heart Ministry is, of course, Jesus Christ.
John 10:11-18 KJV
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming,
and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my
voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power
to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
We thank God for giving us His Son, so that we might obtain the Holy Spirit, and through Christ obtain
eternal life. Who is Jesus? Jesus Christ is God's Spirit made flesh as He thought
it not robbery to come and take on our nature to dwell among us. While here on
earth, he chose many disciples to follow Him, and He taught them many things about ministry.
He was crucified with no sin in His life, but yet on the third day after He cried It is finished., God did raise Him
from the dead. Jesus Christ, the messiah and our only Savior, continues to live
and guide is in our lives and in your ministry through the Holy Spirit. God the
Father, Christ the Savior, and the Holy Spirit the comforter, are all one in the same Spirit.
Much can be said about who Jesus is and how we feel about
Him. But before He left, He gave this statement. "All
power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Therefore, as an under
shepherd, Apostle Pendleton sets out to disciple, train, and help others prepare for their calling in their ministry. It is not he who calls and appoints, it is God who chooses, anoints, and appoints
into ministry.
