Listening Required

John 10:27-28
“My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.”

How can we hear the voice of Jesus if we are not listening? If your life does not include some time set aside for silent listening as well as reflective reading of the scriptures…you will not be able to hear Christ speak to you in the depths of your heart. If you listened you would hear words of unconditional love. Following Him would be a joy. Notice that Jesus does not say that when His sheep follow Him that one-day He will give them eternal life. He says, “I give them eternal life.” It begins now. If you want to experience a taste of the reign of God, if you want to experience amazing grace now…follow the Good Shepherd.
