Whether by accident or on purpose, they would gather them in a paddock, an area that was walled off to keep the predators out of the flock. The sheep would mingle together and do all the things sheep do. Now that presents a problem for the shepherd. How do you tell your sheep apart from the other shepherd\u2019s sheep? &amp;nbsp; When the shepherds would leave the paddock, they would call out to their flock. The sheep would hear their shepherd's voice and would follow. The shepherd's voice is key. The sheep know which shepherd is theirs and they follow. The sheep know\u2026 But sheep are still sheep. &amp;nbsp;Sheep wander off\u2026 Sheep fall into ravines\u2026 The Shepherd still needs to go and find them when that happens. &amp;nbsp; The shepherd\u2019s voice is key. Jesus tells us today, \u201cI know my own and my own know me. They know my voice.\u201d &amp;nbsp; Acts 4:5-12 | 1 John 3:16-24 | John 10:11-18 ","author_name":"Holy Trinity Ankeny","author_url":"http:\/\/htlcankeny.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/30931623\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/171037038"}
