The Life of Jesus

DAY 1 OF 7

Don’t go with strangers!

“Don’t go with strangers!” Isn’t that what people always told you when you were young? Only go with people you know! But how do you know if you can trust someone? Often because you personally know that person.

One night, I was out to dinner with a good friend. As we were talking, the waitress came up from behind us and said she knew my friend. But he didn’t know her—they had never met. But she recognized my friend by his voice. He was the original writer of the email encouragement “A Miracle Every Day” and recorded the messages every day. She listened to his messages often, so she recognized his voice when she heard him talking!

Please take a couple of minutes to watch this powerful video clip from The Life Of Jesus below.

In this part of Jesus’ life, He’s sharing a story. A parable. Jesus is a great storyteller. He explains that it’s important to be able to hear His voice. When you focus on His voice, He can keep you on track. Life is so full of triggers every day, so many mixed signals. It can be hard to distinguish right from wrong.

As you know, don’t go with strangers! This warning is pretty important. Not all people have the best intentions. Many want to benefit themselves. But not Jesus! His plans and intentions for you are good. He gave His own life for you! The smart thing to do is listen to His voice, His message.

And He makes you this promise: “‘I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.’” (John 10:10, NKJV)

In Jesus’ day, people refused to listen to Him. They didn’t want to hear what He had to say. They refused to listen. They continued to be critical and had no intention of believing in Jesus. Please don’t join this group. I invite you to open up your heart and truly listen to Jesus’ voice today. :-)

Bible reference: John 10:1-21

Don’t forget: You are a miracle!
