Scripture Reading: John 10:1-21
Focus Verse: John 10:3 The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads then out.
Jesus likes calling you by name. In Luke 19 we read the story of Jesus calling Zacchaeus by name when he was up in a sycamore tree. Jesus has been calling sinners to Himself ever since. All through history God has been calling people personally. John 10 talks about Jesus being the good shepherd, and He calls His sheep by name. If we are truly His children, then we will know His voice when He calls us. God knows all about you. He even knows more about you than you know about yourself. God is calling you to make an unconditional commitment to Him. A commitment where you will leave everything behind, just as the early disciples did.
Even though there are billions of people in the world today, God is calling you by name, personally. He is first calling you to have a soul saving relationship with His Son Jesus, and then He's calling you into a deeper relationship with Himself.
