-When I see a flock of sheep I see exactly that, a flock. A rabble of wool. I don’t see a sheep. 'I see sheep'. All alike. None different. But not so with the Shepherd. To him every sheep is different. Every face has a story. John 10:3 says, “The sheep listen to the voice of the shepherd. He calls his own sheep by name.”
-When we see a crowd, we see exactly that, 'a crowd'. We see people, not persons. A herd of humans. But not so with the Shepherd. To him every face is different. Every face is a story. The Shepherd knows you. He knows your name. And he will never forget it.
God said in Isaiah 49:16, “I have written your name on my hand.” Quite a thought isn’t it? Your name on God’s lips. My… could it be? --God Whispers Your Name/ML
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
