““Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up by another way, that one is a thief and a robber.”
“But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. “The doorkeeper opens for him, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”
“And when he has brought out his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.”
“And they shall by no means follow a stranger, but shall flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.””
Yoḥanan (John) 10:1-5 TS2009
As “sheep” we depend on the Shepherd and we gladly follow Him because He is our protector.
Trying to follow our own way or follow another shepherd that is unknown to us will only lead us in the wrong direction resulting in severe consequences. But the Spirit leads the Way unto Truth and Life everlasting.
We are called to be disciples by being obedient and to learn how to recognize His voice, to go where He wants us to go, and to serve and imitate Him so that we can be a light to others and to share His Good News message to all who will hear it unto the ends of the earth.
The shepherd is always there to guide us; to guide us to the narrow gate that leads to Life. HalleluYAH!
