We Are Known

 

“I know my sheep and my sheep know me”

—John 10:14b

Don’t you just delight when you are somewhere in a large crowd—maybe at a concert or shopping at the mall—when suddenly you see someone you know?

You make an effort to get that one’s attention. The minute he or she recognizes you, a look of joy appears of his or her face.

“I know you! How are you? How’s your family? Oh! This is your daughter? What a beautiful little girl.”

Our Savior understood how important it is to be “known.” Notice His words recorded in John 10:14-15:

“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.”

How fortunate we are to have such a Shepherd!

As we begin another day, let us be keenly aware of opportunities that God might give us to share His love with others.

Let us cheerfully be ambassadors of our Good Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ.
