2. What it means
Jesus says the sheep hear his voice and he knows them (vv. 3-4, 27). What kind of relationship does that show between him and those who follow him?
3. How I live it
Jesus says he came so that they may have life in abundance (v. 10). In what part of your life do you need to hear his voice today?
