We are very familiar with the parable of the good shepherd who searches for the lost sheep out in the pasture. In this gospel Jesus tells us that He is the Good Shepherd who leads His sheep out to the good pasture lands. For Him to do this the sheep must: (1) Recognize His voice; (2) Pay attention to hear His voice; and (3) Be obedient to His voice.

This may be a good time for us to take stock of ourselves as the Good Shepherd’s sheep. How well are we doing the three things that a good sheep will do?
