John 10
Inspired thots:
The much loved parable ~ the Good Shepherd and His flock.
What's outstanding here to me is that the SHEEP goes by LISTENING to a familiar and safe sound ~ that of its shepherd. The sheep does not follow by SIGHT; not what it SEES but what it HEARS and it is kept safe, following the sound that is proven trustworthy.
Whereas, the unbelieving goes by SIGHT! (v21) They follow what they can SEE and not WHAT they hear (v20) They keep asking to be 'told' but they do not believe what they hear (v24).
