How we perceive someone often determines our attitude and treatment towards that person. Many of us see Jesus as God, but is he more than just someone we ask stuff from, give thanks to before we eat, or celebrate only when  Christmas comes around? Jesus is not one dimensional. Not just print on a Bible page, but much more.  

John 10:11 Jesus declared, "I am the good shepherd." Does this mean anything to you? Applying CLC's mission statement to Psalm 23 , using the characteristics of a good shepherd:

• Loving God is a daily, everyday relationship (v.1-4)
• Loving People is with necessary hospitality (v.5)
• Serving the World includes an invitation to the "Cleanser" to live in the Lord's house forever (v.6).

Jesus cannot be an afterthought, but a vital part of our lives. Jesus the Good Shepherd is a daily, necessary, "cleanser".
