the Good Shepherd

"I am the good shepherd;
I know my sheep and my sheep know me..."
John 10:14
If we do just a little research on sheep we find that sheep are inadequate creatures when it comes to taking care of themselves. Most people consider them to be just plain dumb. But...here is some good news for us. Scripture compares us often to sheep, and often compares the Lord to our shepherd. Indeed, in John 10 Jesus refers to himself as our Shepherd. He also reminds us of something that can be easily missed when we consider the ways of the sheep: they know their shepherd.
The real question is:
Does Jesus know you as one of His sheep? If He does, then you know His voice.
You know when someone else is calling you.
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts."
The Lord bless you and may you hear His voice Today!

We know His voice!
