1 Chronicles 16:1-43; Ezekiel 16:35-63; John 6:1-21
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way. Isaiah 53:6
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27
God likens unbelievers to wandering sheep, going their own sinful way and headed to a horrible end. If we have taken God’s gift of a Saviour God still likens us to sheep, but we are following the Good Shepherd who claims us as His own. He can do that because He gave His life for the sheep (v. 11) and He not only saves us, He keeps us in His hand (v. 28). What a change of venue! —Ken Gross
My sheep hear My voice and,
I know them and they follow Me,
I give unto them eternal life;
And they shall never perish. —Alfred P. Gibbs
