GOOD SHEEP FOLLOW THE SHEPHERD

Good sheep hear the voice of the Good Shepherd (John 10:16).  “He who has ears, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15; 13:9; Revelation 2:7).  Many ears do not want to hear what Jesus has revealed (John 6:60, 66).

Good sheep hear the voice of the Good Shepherd (John 10:16).  There is only One Voice that is:  The words of eternal life (John 6:68).  The words of truth (John 1:17; 8:31-32).  The words that will judge us (John 12:48).  The words of the Father (John 14:24; Heb. 1:2).  The words able to save your soul (James 1:21).  The words of liberty (James 1:25).

Good sheep hear the voice of the Good Shepherd (John 10:16).  “Elders of the church are instructed to give heed to God’s word of grace (Acts 20:32).  Speak God’s oracles (1 Peter 4:11).  Be able to teach, exhort and convict by sound doctrine (1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:9).  When our shepherds encourage and reprove according to the gospel of Christ, are we really hearing them? Taking their spiritual words to heart?

Be submissive to those men who watch out for your souls (Heb. 13:17).  Souls are entrusted to elders’ watchful care (1 Peter 5:3; Acts 20:28).

Be submissive to those men who watch out for your souls (Heb. 13:17).  Sheep are commanded to place themselves willingly and humbly under the lead and guidance of shepherds.  “Call to mind” those who rule over the brethren (Heb. 13:7).  God’s word spoken.  Follow exemplary faith.  “Obey those who rule over you.”  Like the Lamb of God.  Accept and receive shepherds’ oversight.
