What a wonderful testimony you have! I'll bet holidays are fun at your house. ;o)
But I agree with you and what you said proves the truth of Scripture that the sheep hear the shepherd, they follow him and no other shepherd do they follow. We hear the voice of Jesus, he calls us out and we follow him and he GIVES to us eternal life. Those very verses from John 10:27-30 were what God used to speak to my heart and draw me to his saving truth. The "world" will not understand because it cannot understand. It is foolishness to them, even. But we KNOW him, don't we? It IS a miracle - straight from the miracle worker! Thank you, Mitch, what a wonderful thing to think on when I go to bed tonight. We know that we know.
"...they follow him and no other shepherd do they follow"
To whom shall we go,He alone has the words of life!
