The Only Voice Left

Monday, December 19, 2022

A woman, caught in adultery, is surrounded by people who want to stone her to death. Just imagine being her. She’s hearing voices of condemnation, rejection, accusation and hatred. Then Messiah comes and says, “Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone.” And an amazing thing happens… they all leave. The only one left is her and Messiah. He asks, “Woman where are your accusers?” “They are not here,” she answers. So He says, “Neither do I accuse you, go and sin no more.” This is a beautiful picture of all of us. Often we hear so many voices: voices of rejection, criticism, accusation, doubt, jealousy, discouragement, and hatred. We also hear voices of flattery and praise. We can spend our lives listening to these voices and worrying about what they think. Or we can stop wasting our lives dwelling on those voices and listen for the one and only voice that matters. His is the voice that will be heard in the end. So listen for His voice and obey Him, so that you may hear Him say one day, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

From Message #1133  
Scripture: John 10:4-5

Jimmy insert:

“And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” John 10: 4-5

And my Evidence Bible footnote for John 10:2: “True believers are likened to sheep, which: know the voice of their shepherd; are easily led (submit without resistance); flock together (in unity); need a shepherd (or they stray); were a type of Israel (Matthew 10: 6 – 7); imitate one another; are productive (wool, leather, meat, and milk); were a sign of God’s blessing (see Deut. 7:13); will be divided from the “goats” at the Judgment; were offered in sacrifice.” Awesome analogy connection, no !?!

TODAY’S MISSION – Pay no mind to the voices. Open your ears to the only one Voice that matters. Listen for and obey your Master’s voice. His is the only one that will matter in the end!
