"My Sheep Hear My Voice"
The Gospel on Sunday is not simple. Jesus addresses our need for belonging, promises eternal life, describes the power of God and astounds with the statement: "the Father and I are one". There is an awful lot going on there - but it begins with hearing.
Hearing can mean both receiving sound and understanding sound. We really cannot understand the power of God, or the mystery of God or what eternal life really means.
But we can understand the voice of Jesus - as sheep understand a shepherd's voice or as a child hears a mother's voice. And we feel comfort and protection and a sense of belonging.
