As we continue to explore John's unique perspective on following Jesus we turn to yet another "I am" passage; "I am the Good Shepherd" in John 10 where we learn again that following Jesus begins with Jesus.
Before the ethical imperatives or moral models of following Jesus there is a simple directive for those who want to follow Jesus: learn to recognise his voice and follow him. This familiarity comes through individual disciplines but also in community as we learn together to hear his voice and follow him.
I hope you've been encouraged this week to learn to listen to Jesus as we follow him together.
Do you have one or two people in your life who can help you check your blind spots? These people are a gift to us to faithfully follow Jesus. Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Don't forget that you can find our discipleship menu for this series on our website under the Next Steps tab and growing, join us as we seek to follow Jesus together.
Is there someone you know who really needs to hear this message? Why not share it with them and see what God does through it.
