SCRIPTURE: Psalm 23; John 10: 1-15 (NRSVue)
Christ reveals Himself and the church as the Shepherd and His sheep. This is a beautiful picture of Christ and His love for us. More than this, we should not heed the voices of strangers or follow the excitements of the world. We must focus only on Christ, our Shepherd.
