Verse from John

“我是好牧人，我认识我的羊，我的羊也认识我，”

‭‭约翰福音‬ ‭10:14‬ ‭

““I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—”

‭‭John‬ ‭10:14‬ ‭

In the New Testament, Jesus compares Himself to a shepherd, stating that His people, the sheep, will follow Him because they know His voice (John 10:4). But those same sheep will run from a stranger or thief (v. 5). Like sheep, we (God’s children) get to know the voice of our Shepherd through our relationship with Him. And as we do, we see His character and learn to trust Him.

As we grow to know and love God, we’ll be discerning of His voice and better able to run from the “the thief [who] comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (v. 10)—from those who try to deceive and draw us away from Him. Unlike those false teachers, we can trust the voice of our Shepherd to lead us to safety
