Christ the Good Shepherd: Do You Recognize His Voice?

The post quotes John 10:14-15, where Jesus says he is the good shepherd who knows his sheep and his sheep know him, just as the Father knows him and he knows the Father, and that he lays down his life for the sheep. It then asks the reader directly: "Were you the lost sheep?" The words present the relationship between Christ and his followers as one of mutual knowledge rooted in the divine knowledge between the Father and the Son, and they present his care as sacrificial.

The question turns the proclamation toward personal reflection, inviting the reader to consider whether they have been the sheep that strayed and was found.
