In John 10 Jesus states: “I am the good Shepard; I know my sheep and my sheep know me…My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10: 14 & 27)
The book of John is full of illustrations Jesus uses to describe who he is to the people. Jesus declares himself to be the bread of life in John 6, the light of the world in John 8, and the vine in John 15. Following his healing of the blind man and subsequent talk on spiritual blindness, Jesus uses the analogy of a good Shepard to teach his followers that he will protect them and lead them to where they need to go. His followers, like sheep, know his voice and follow his voice, but they will not follow a stranger’s voice. In fact they will run from the stranger’s voice because they do not recognize the voice. (John 10:5)

Jesus - God’s Plan for Glory |
|
The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is a well known and amazingly powerful testament to the glory of God. Indeed there are so many wonderful things to be drawn from this account, but the one thing I really focused on in this quiet time is how the raising of Lazarus increases our faith in God—more specifically how God uses difficult and impossible situations to transform our faith. The most important thing that God wants to do in our lives is to increase our faith. To God our faith is more precious than gold and it must be proved genuine (1 Peter 1:3-7). In the story of Lazarus we see just how Jesus works to increase his disciples’ faith and the faith of Lazarus’s family.

Roderick Sewell, senior in at John Carroll high school is
also a double amputee who has faced many challenges during his life. Even with
this, he has overcome this obstacle and has competed as a superior athlete in

important thing to him now is not that he has overcome his physical challenges
but that he has a relationship with God.
