From John 10:14-16:  “I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.  And I lay down my life for the sheep.  I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”

True Christians consider themselves not as satisfying some rigorous creditor, but as discharging a debt of gratitude.

Colossians 2:13-14:  “And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with Him, when He forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands.  He set this aside, nailing it to the cross.”

William Wilberforce (1759-1833) was a member of the British Parliament.  He became a major figure in the movement to abolish the slave trade and slavery itself in the British Empire.

From Luke 2:8-11:  “Now in that same region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.  Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.'”

From Acts 13:23-25:  “Of this man’s posterity God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus, as He promised; before His coming John had already proclaimed a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.  And as John was finishing his work, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am?  I am not He.  No, but One is coming after me; I am not worthy to untie the strap of the sandals on His feet.’”
