John 10:27-28 My Sheep Hear My Voice

John 10:27-28 (KJV) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

The sheep hears the voice of the shepherd. The shepherd knows them and they follow Him. This is the description of the character of the true followers of Christ.

To these He gives eternal life. A most precious gift that Christ can give because He gave Himself to purchase it. By this, Christ is identified as the true Shepherd.

The shepherd protects the sheep. Christ has the power to protect His own for all time and from all predators. What a wonderful Shepherd. Amen.
