| Experiencing the Words of Jesus |
What is the voice of Jesus like? Is it harsh and authoritarian? Is it soft and effeminate? John 10:1-10 presents us with one picture of Jesus’ voice. It is a voice that the sheep hear. People preach and listen to the voice of all kinds of things other than Jesus’ words. Yet his is the voice that the sheep listen to. All other voices are suspect as potential robbers. Just as in a real flock of sheep, where each can be taught its name, so too does the voice Jesus call each by name. It is a personal relationship. The sheep also recognise the voice of Jesus and follow him. They will never follow another. In fact, they go the other way from the unrecognized voice of a stranger. We can all learn to recognize the voice of Jesus.
