Thieves wait patiently for an opportunity to take away from others what is valuable and desirable. There is nothing more valuable than life itself. Satan, the thief, like a spiritual parasite preys on the unsuspecting sheep that wander away from the Shepherd’s flock. Once in his clutches, all hope seems lost, but that is precisely the reason why Jesus came. When the Enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, came to give us life, and life to the full.
