John 10:4,5
Amplifed….
“When he has brought all his own sheep outside, he walks on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call.
“They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not know the voice of a stranger.”
*** JESUS (THE GOOD SHEPHERD) IS TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF AND HIS OWN
(SHEEP). ***
*** HE WALKS AHEAD OF THEM AND PREPARES A PATH AS THEY FOLLOW
HIM. ***
*** HE CALLS TO THEM AND SAYS “THIS IS THE WAY, FOLLOW ME”. ***
*** THERE ARE MANY OTHER VOICES CALLING OUT TO HIS SHEEP ALONG THE PATH SAYING, “THIS IS THE WAY, FOLLOW ME”. ***
*** THE SAFETY AND PROTECTION YOU LONG FOR COMES FROM “KNOWING HIS VOICE”. ***
*** YOU LEARN THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE THROUGH TIME TOGETHER WITH HIM. YOU BECOME FAMILIAR WITH HIS TONE AND CONTENT. ***
*** YOU LEARN TO “RUN AWAY” FROM A STRANGER TELLING YOU TO GET IN HIS CAR BECAUSE HE IS OFFERING YOU A
RIDE. ***
*** KNOWING HIS VOICE THROUGH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM IS YOUR LIFE AND SAFETY. ***
*** IT IS SO GOOD TO BE CONFIDENT IN KNOWING JESUS VOICE TO YOU. IT IS THE GEATEST THING FOR YOUR LIFE, PEACE, HEALTH, PROSPERITY, RELATIONSHIPS, AND FUTURE ! ***
"THE place for you to grow in grace."
