"A key thing for us to remember."
The goal of our walk with Jesus is to come to know him as our shepherd just as intimately as he knows the Father. In a world where so many people want to attract our attention and are willing to give us advice, we can refuse their voice. We listen to Jesus because he has shown his love for us by laying down his life for us. He is not a hireling, he is the Good Shepherd.
[Jesus said,] "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me - just as the Father knows me and I know the Father - and I lay down my life for the sheep."
John 10:14-15
It takes two to speak the truth... one to speak and another to hear.
