John 10:27 - Hearing the Voice of God.John 10:27 (NKJV) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.John 10:27 (NLT) My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. INTRODUCTION In this grand statement, Jesus summarized the blessings of those who truly listen to and believe the gospel. The believer in Jesus knows him personally, has eternal life, will not perish, and is secure in his care. But many of those who heard had no intention of truly listening. It is also true that those refusing to listen to Jesus' voice are not his sheep. We Recognize Christ's Voice When He Speaks To Us Through The Bible. Are we truly listening for it? (Life Application Commentary) COMMENTARY PEARL Our son Will is a musician. Ever since he was a tiny boy, he has loved to sing. In junior high, he began playing guitar and piano. In high school, he began writing and producing his own music. Now, he is a music and worship major in college. Every once in a while, Will emails us a new song he is working on. I pass the link along to all of our family members. I want them to get in on the joy. The latest video Will sent us was his first time performing with his worship studio class. They were leading the music for an event and the students took turns. When Will stepped up to the microphone to lead worship, I teared up a bit. A little because I am his mom and a little because it was beautiful. I really love the sound of his voice. I would know his voice anywhere, on any song, at any time. Probably because I have spent 20 years listening to it. It's the best voice. Of course, I'm not biased at all! Jesus wants me to know His voice. He wants me to recognize His direction and guidance. And He wants me to listen for His truth. When I hear Jesus's voice, I can know that I am safe and loved. It's the best voice - I'm not biased at all.
