“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” -
John 10:27
1.
Who are the people
that fall under the category of the sheep that follows Jesus?
The answer is the
sheep that hear His voice. They are the ones who follow Him. You have to know
one thing: it’s neither God’s will nor
God’s mistake that you lose your way. The wrong is in our part only. We fell
only because we did not listen to God’s voice or take into consideration God’s
efforts to keep us with Him. The voice of God which was heard by all other
sheep was heard by us also. But they followed His voice more diligently than
us. We rejected His voice and decided to go on by our own understanding. We
thought our understanding is much greater than the guidance of His voice. But
our understanding let us down. If you have the desire to follow Jesus Christ,
your Saviour, you have to listen to His voice.
2.
What are the
blessings that we will receive if we listen to His voice?
“And I give them
eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out
of My hand.” – John 10:28
a)
God will give you
eternal life
b)
You shall never
perish
c)
No one can pluck you
out of God’s hand
To
get these wonderful blessings, it is essential that you listen to God’s voice.
Don’t lean on your own understanding which leads you to failure. But trust in
God who will guide you by keeping His eyes on you. As you listen to His voice
you will be protected from all kinds of dangers.
Even today you may
feel dejected in your heart that you have failed to listen to God’s voice. Be
of strong courage, my dear child, God is searching for you. He is looking for
you to make you join in His own cattle again. He will give you back all that
you had lost and He will restore your joy. Give your life to Him. He will
certainly change you.
