I don’t know everything about Jesus the Christ. One thing I do know: once I was blind, now I see. Many do not know him, yet he opened my eyes. The sheep of Jesus hear his voice. He calls them by name and leads them out; then he goes before them  and his sheep follow him for they know his voice.

There is a thief (a false shepherd)who comes only to steal and kill and destroy. Jesus has come that I may have life and have that life in abundance.  Jesus is the good shepherd and the good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He is the good shepherd and he knows his own and his own know him. There will be one flock and one shepherd.  Lord Jesus, my shepherd, lays down his life for me because he loves me. No one takes his life from him but he lays it down of his own accord.
