Baaaaaaa

I woke up at 2:30am literally speaking "My sheep hear my voice" out loud. What's that about? My experience with sheep is limited to Bubba (left), my fairy god-daughter's 4-H lamb, who died 'suddenly.'
Anyway, lying there, I imagined what that really looks like, Jesus as shepherd, us as sheep. What a beautiful picture. Here's what we can know & believe!

• Christ is a good shepherd caring for us, not a hired servant who'll walk away because he's not paid enough! Jn 7-14
• He speaks to us. Jn 10:27
• He leads us. Jn 10:3
• We can know & recognize His voice. Jn 10:14
• We go the wrong way or something attacks? He'll leave the flock for 'one' sheep & be ecstatic to get it back. Luke 15:4-7
• He'll lay His life down for us. Jn 10:15
• We're valuable to Him. Worth much more than a sheep! Matt 12:12

Listen for His voice. Without Him, we are like sheep without a shepherd & we won't survive long!
