COMMENTS
The voice of the Good Shepherd is a blending of various sounds
in a manner in which they are blended by no other voice. His
voice sounds forth the chord of justice commingled with the
chord of love, and the whole intoned with wisdom and with power.
Other theories, plans and schemes of men and devils have no such
harmony of sound as has the message which the Great Shepherd has
sent us through His Son. Moreover, when the true sheep hear the
voice of the Good Shepherd, it satisfies their longings as
nothing else could do. They will no longer be in danger of being
attracted by other sounds or voices, theories or schemes, but
will reply to all,
"Jesus has satisfied, Jesus is mine."
The Lord put forth His sheep from the Mosaic Covenant fold by His death and their consecration into Him. Like a true shepherd, He did not drive but led them; and they followed Him to the green pastures and the quiet waters of the Word and the blessed paths of righteousness. They recognize His voice—the Truth—by its sweet, comforting and harmonious ring, which is life to them.
