Going to Pasture

Listen from:
IT is always pleasing to the eye to look at a picture of sheep. They are such gentle creatures and so inoffensive. They can be led better than driven.
The Lord Jesus likens His people to sheep, and He desires that they should be meek like sheep, and that they should hear His voice, just as sheep hear their shepherd’s voice, and follow Him.
“MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME.” John 10:2727My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: (John 10:27).
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” John 10:28-3028And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30I and my Father are one. (John 10:28‑30).
Do you listen to His voice? Perhaps some may wonder how they could hear His voice. The only way is through the Scriptures. There we may hear Him speaking to us, so we need to read it and meditate on it, as words coming from Himself.
Have you listened to that word coining from the Lord? If you have, and have acted upon it, then you can say you are one of His sheep, and consider all that He has done for His sheep. He will never give them up.
