He knows, He cares

S: John 10:9-18

⁹ I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly. ¹¹ I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ¹² He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. ¹³ The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn’t care for the sheep. ¹⁴ I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I’m known by my own; ¹⁵ even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. ¹⁶ I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd. ¹⁷ Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father.”

O: Jesus knows our troubles and he cares. He is our good shepherd. He lays his life down for us.

A: As we go through the difficulties in life, we can trust God cares for us.

P: Father, as we go through these difficulties, though we are tempted to feel there’s no solution, there’s no way out, we know you always keep your promises. You know our struggles and you care. And you were wililng to lay down your life for us. O Lord, I believe. Help me in my unbelief. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Dia Mengerti, Dia Peduli
(He knows, He cares)

English translation of the song:

Verse 1
Sometimes we feel
There is no open way
No more time
It’s too late

Verse 2
God never lies
He always keeps His promises
For those who believe
Miracles are real

Chorus 1
He understands, He cares
About the problems that are happening
He understands, He cares
About the problems we are facing

Chorus 2
But one thing He asks
Is that we believe
Until the miracle becomes real
