John 10

Jesus says that He is the shepherd (v14) and the door (v7) to the sheepfold.  Jesus is not a hired hand, unconcerned with us, but a loving shepherd who lays down His life for his sheep (v15).   Jesus is inviting all who are listening to Him to “recognize his voice.”  Many responded to His invitation (42); some opposed him and refused to recognize the good shepherd and seek to kill Him. (v31,39).   

When we are attentive to Jesus, He promises abundant life (v10), He has sealed that promise with giving up His life for us.  Be attuned to the Shepherd’s voice!
