The Shepherd's Voice

Source: Traditional90 words

A shepherd explained how his sheep knew his voice: 'When I call to them, they look up immediately. Other shepherds might sound similar to you, but the sheep never mistake my voice. It's not just the sound—it's the relationship. I've been with them through storms, led them to green pastures, and protected them from wolves. They know my voice because they know my heart.' Jesus said His sheep know His voice not just because of how it sounds, but because of who He is and what He's done for them.
