The Way of Sheep

"The good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep." John 10:11
"My sheep listen to my voice, I know them and they follow me." John 10:27

Jesus knew even then the path before Him and seemed to have no problem with it. He spends a lot of time in this chapter on this analogy. As the Shepherd He willingly will fulfill His job by protecting His flock even if it means laying down His life to save them. We as his sheep should know His voice because we spend so much time with our Shepherd. And because we know His voice we will follow Him in His path for our lives. He will protect us and keep us safe.

Help me to know your voice and follow you daily where you lead me. Thank you for laying down your life for me - a lowly sheep!
