Today we have an inspirational 2-minute video that supports one of the better-known metaphors that Jesus used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers… My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10.1 – 5, 27, ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do the sheep really recognize their shepherd’s voice? See for yourself<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 <\/sup>\u00a0The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 <\/sup>\u00a0He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
3 <\/sup>\u00a0He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name\u2019s sake. (Psalm 23.1 – 3, ESV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Pilate said to him, \u201cSo you are a king?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cYou say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world\u2014to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice<\/strong>.\u201d (John 18.37, ESV – emphasis mine)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
