How can a person determine whether they are one of the sheep cared for by Jesus?
I don't see myself as a sheep cared for by Jesus- I do however see myself as a child of Jesus and cared for by Jesus. I really didn't understand this passage. The only part that made sense is "I came that they may have life and may have it more abundantly;" True that!

A person can tell that they are one of Jesus` sheep when they LISTEN and FOLLOW Him when they hear His voice. By: Patty - January 30, 2007 - Public Category: The Shepherd and His Flock (1) Comments

JR sc# 19.8.25.451.18 By: ANtERO jr Pasamba - January 27, 2007 - Public Category: The Shepherd and His Flock
"Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the
door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a
thief and a robber. But
one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for
him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name,
and leads them out. Whenever he brings out his own
sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his
voice. They will by no
means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the
voice of strangers." Jesus spoke this parable to them,
but they didn't understand what he was telling them.
Jesus therefore said
to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the
sheep's door. All who
came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to
them. I am the door. If
anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and
will find pasture. The
thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have
life, and may have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good
shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand, and not
a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the
sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them. The hired hand flees because he
is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know
my own, and I'm known by my own; even as the Father knows me, and
I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep, which are
not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice.
They will become one flock with one shepherd. Therefore the Father loves me,
because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it away from me,
but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power
to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father." Therefore a division
arose again among the Jews because of these words. Many of them said, "He has
a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?" Others said, "These are not
the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to
open the eyes of the blind, is it?"
