In this Sunday's Gospel reading, Jesus describes His relationship with His followers using the imagery of a shepherd who looks after his sheep. Like a shepherd, Jesus knows each of us by name and constantly calls us back into His flock.
Although Jesus’ call goes out to all, many of us remain stuck in the trappings of this world, unable to refuse earthly attachments and to endure the difficulties that accompany a life in Christ. Even though Jesus provides us with the promise that He will always be there to shelter His flock, it still requires a response from our part.
Only when we accept the call of Jesus Christ, will our relationship with Him grow and allow us to experience the fullness of life. How would you respond to His voice today?
