The Voice of Jesus

Jesus said: I tell you for certain only thieves and robbers climb over the fence instead of going in through the gate to the sheep pen.  But the gatekeeper opens the gate for the shepherd, and he goes in through it. The sheep know their shepherd's voice. He calls each of them by name and leads them out.  When he has led out all of his sheep, he walks in front of them, and they follow, because they know his voice.

John 10:1-4 - CEV

Walking on the Path to Heaven can be confusing for someone who lives on earth!  There are many voices who will claim to tell you the next step you need to take on your journey.  But there is only one way to Heaven and that way is Jesus Christ Himself.  There is no other one who can lead you to Eternity and no other path that will end in Heaven!  

How then do you know that you are going the right way?  The answer is simple: You listen for the voice of Jesus!  If you are on the right road you will hear Jesus talking as He walks in front of you.  If you don't hear the sound of the voice of Jesus, it is time to stop until you do hear Him.  

As a child I remember hearing my parents talking as I was going to sleep.  I couldn't always hear what they said, but I always could recognize their voices.  It brought great comfort and peace to a sleepy child. 

Being near enough to Jesus to hear His voice is the same.  The comfort comes not from hearing Him tell you what to do, but rather just hearing Him because you are so near that you can hear His voice! 

"Lord Jesus, let me hear Your voice today so that I will know that I am near You and walking behind You on the Road to Heaven!  May Your Holy and Righteous Name be praised now and forever.  Amen."
