Preacher Sought To Find

Summary

The sermon addresses the biblical reference in Matthew 27:9, clarifying the apparent discrepancy between Jeremiah and Zechariah as the prophet who spoke the prophecy about Judas Iscariot's betrayal. The preacher emphasizes the distinction between a good shepherd and a foolish shepherd, warning against those who use flattery, seek personal gain, or lack genuine care for the flock. He encourages reliance on the true shepherd, Jesus Christ, who lays down His life for the sheep, contrasting Him with hirelings who flee in times of trouble. The message calls for faithfulness, integrity, and a foundation built on the Word of God rather than on superficial or worldly means.
