Hey guys!!! Have you ever thought about how many times Jesus calls us Sheep? Have you ever thought about how many times Jesus calls Himself the "Good Shepherd?" It's kinda crazy to think about what Jesus was calling Himself and not only that, but what He was challenging us with as being the Sheep of the Shepherd. Think about Sheep for a second, what do they do? They walk around, eat, sleep, and provide wool, and.....that's about it.
Another thing they do is that they follow the voice of the Shepherd that leads them...they will literally run away from unfamiliar voices and band together to get away from it because they do not know the stranger's voice, yet the coolest part about that is they will run toward and follow the voice of the Shepherd!!! Jesus calls us to follow His voice and to remain as close to Him as possible because He is the One who leads us...He's the One who desires to protect us, and He's the One who provides for our every need. There are so many references to Sheep in the Old and New Testament and there's a reason...we need that familiar voice to lead us and we need to be willing to sprint toward it and follow it with all of our hearts. Are you willing to run away from the voices that are not leading you to something great?...Are you willing to sprint toward Christ who is our Good Shepherd?...He desires us to follow Him with all that we are...LET'S TRY IT!!!-GRACE AND PEACE.
