EVERY CHILD HAS A NAME

I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, as the Father knows me. And my sheep know me.

John 10:14

The shepherd knows his sheep. He calls them by name.

When we see a crowd, we see exactly that, a crowd.… We see people, not persons, but people. A herd of humans. A flock of faces. That’s what we see.

But not so with the Shepherd. To him every face is different. Every face is a story. Every face is a child. Every child has a name.…

The shepherd knows his sheep. He knows each one by name. The Shepherd knows you. He knows your name. And he will never forget it.
