The Good Shepherd and His Sheep

August 24, 2024 1 Comment

I’m like a sheep. I need a shepherd who has already given his life to rescue me from wolves. I need the good shepherd, Jesus, as my shepherd. Because Jesus is my shepherd, I know that if I listen to him, I will hear his voice calling me. I can be sure that I am his because I recognize his voice.

Most of these tests apply regardless of whether the message comes from an internal voice or through the mouth or writings of another person who claims to speak for God. They start with the overarching test “do I recognize my Shepherd’s voice in what is said?”
