TEXT: ,,,, “14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
[In v.3 He says, “He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”]
28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.”

Having just started as new Pastor at Grace, Tecumseh, the challenge for me is getting all the new names of members of my flock down.
Right now I look out in the congregation and its mostly a sea of faces.
“Silberhorn” is an interesting name.
Literally, it means “silver-horn.”
It’s also is the name of a white, snow-capped mountain in the Alps.
You can climb if you wanted to.
Mount Silberhorn.
A silvery, snow-capped mountain like that is a symbol of power.
In the Bible, silver is also the color of gray hair that tops our heads, a reminder of old age and the weakness that sets in due to the gradual effects of sin in our life.
The “silver chord” in Ecclesiastes is a reference to the precious, and yet frail, slender chord of our life, and our mortality which is so easily broken by death.
the silver chord is a reference to the precious, and yet frail, slender chord of our life, and our mortality which is so easily broken by death.
And here we are today witnessing again the sad results of our weakness and sin.
There is nothing in this life that is more heartbreaking than the death of a loved one.
A part of our lives is gone.
Suddenly we realize that someone we love is no longer with us.
We see him resting in a casket, with eyes closed and hands folded, and soon the casket will be lowered to its final resting place in the ground at the cemetery.
There’s nothing more heart-breaking than the loss of a loved one.
We realize that a very important part of our lives is gone.
Someone we love is no longer with us.
We see him resting in a casket, with eyes closed and hands folded.
In a short while his body will be laid to rest in the cemetery where the casket will be lowered to its final resting place.
In a way it doesn't even seem real.
