| Summary: Jesus gave us an analogy to help us understand how to discern the voice of God. As sheep recognized the voice of the shepherd, so we too can recognize the Lord’s voice when we hear it. Many other voices are also clamoring for our attention - the sources of which only intend to steal, rob and destroy. So we must keep our spirits in tune with the Lord’s voice, so that we might not be wooed away from the path God intends for us. |

|
| Summary: The good shepherd reigns in Christian imagination as the ideal pastor, though pastoral leaders are human, with human frailties. The Good Shepherd offers an opportunity to be in community together, in spite of our differences and divisions.
