It is believed about the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep
that the shepherd who has a good relationship with his sheep
can lead them to the good pasture, going on ahead of them.
All sheep know the shepherd’s voice and when the time comes that sheep go into their pen,
they listen to his voice and return safely to the pen.

Otherwise he may lose some of his sheep when sheep go astray not listening to his voice.
Some of them may lose its life when they’re attacked by ferocious wolves.
If someone else impersonates their shepherd, pretending to lead them to the pen,
they will never follow a stranger of that impostor and run away from him.
It is because sheep distinguish shepherd’s voice from a stranger’s voice.

Jn 10:4~5 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them,
and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
But they will never follow a stranger;
in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.

God is our good shepherd and we are sheep protected by Him from the evil ones.
God Elohim know us and we also know God the Father and God the Mother.
We definitely will follow our shepherd; Heavenly Parents.
One thing that we have to complete is to find other sheep that are not of sheep pen;
who are long-lost brothers and sisters scattered throughout the world
and bring them to the safe shelter of God’s arm.

Jn 10:14~16 I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me,
just as the Father knows me and I know the Father and I lay down my life for the sheep.
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also.
They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
