—John 10:11-18
by: Gabrielle Andries.
In this passage, Jesus used the illustration of the sheep, the shepherd, and the pen to show that He laid down His life for everyone, not just the Jews. Those who follow Jesus will be a part of one and the same body of Christ. He knows each and every one of us in a way no one else ever will. And we will know and obey His voice when He calls us. We are more than hirelings and, therefore, need to be living like we have a vested interest in the sheep of His pasture.
