I love the imagery in John chapter 10. Jesus teaches His disciples that those who follow Him are like sheep. His sheep...
know His voice!! Not only that, but His sheep will not follow a stranger's voice!
John 10:4, "When He has brought His own sheep outside, He walks on before them, and the sheep follow Him because they know His voice."
What an awesome and loving relationship!
John 10:3 says, ...."and the sheep listen to His voice and heed it & He calls His own sheep by name & brings (leads) them out."
Do you understand the kindness and gentleness that Jesus is referring to here? Did you hear how Jesus said it's His voice they're familiar with and His voice they follow? So many Christians don't even know or think that God talks, but He does!
He speaks to us all and loves to hear us speak to Him! He enjoys being with us. He wants us to follow Him because He's a good Shepherd and He only does good to His sheep! He wants us to follow Him because His way is the safe and best way!
Amen and amen!
